[Verse 1]
G D
It was the first time ever he saw her
D C D G
He saw his future in a long white cotton gown
G D
Sittin' there at the church house, she was gonna get baptized
D G
They was gonna have dinner on the grounds
[Verse 2]
G D
So the very next Friday, he got off at the sawmill
D C D G
He slicked his hair back, he had a pocket full of pay
G D
When she opened up the front door, he was grinnin' like a possum
D G
As he handed her a daisy, she heard him say
[Chorus]
G C
Hey, let's go dancin' to the tune of a twenty dollar bill
C G
They've got a fine fiddle band at the barn up on the hill
G C
And by midnight we just might wind up dancin' standin' still
C D G
By my daddy's lantern light, let me walk you home
[Verse 3]
G D
After they got married, it didn't seem like no time
D C D G
They just sayin' their goodbye's, he's a goin' to the big world war
G D
'Bout a lifetime later, she's a waitin' at the depot
D G
He said I ain't a gonna leave you, no, never no more
[Chorus]
G C
Said let's go dancin' to the tune of a twenty dollar bill
C G
They've got a fine fiddle band at the barn up on the hill
G C
And by midnight we just might wind up dancin' standin' still
C D G
By my daddy's lantern light, let me walk you home
[Verse 4]
G D
In front of friends and kinfolk and all of us grandkids
D C D G
In the same little church house, in a long white cotton gown
G D
He bent down and he kissed her, he said, I'm right behind you, honey
D G
It wasn't long 'til we laid him in the ground
[Chorus]
G C
And now they're dancin' to the tune of a twenty dollar bill
C G
They've got a fine fiddle band at the barn up on the hill
G C
And by midnight they just might wind up dancin' standin' still
C D G
By the Father's lantern light, they're walkin' home
G D
