Dance With Who Brung You Lyrics

#
#
#This is an Asleep at the Wheel number on their tribute to Bob
#Wills album of about a year ago. The album won an award, if I remember
#correctly.
#Dance With Who Brung You--- by Asleep at the Wheel (a Western Swing)
#Key of F (this tune is really just a series of 4ths, from D to G to C to
#F) To be played in the tempo of San Antonio Rose, which also uses the
#4ths
#Intro(same as the melody of the Chorus)
(Chorus)
You got to dance with who brung you, swing with who swung you,
Don't be a fickle fool,You came here with a gal, who's always been your
pal, don't leave her for the first unattached girl, it just ain't cool
You got to dance with who brung you, swing with who swung you,
dim
Life ain't no forty-yard dash, be in it for the long run,
'cause in the long run you'll have more fun, if you dance with who brung
you to the bash
(Verse 1)
I had a friend from Texas, he really had some style, he sang that good
old Western Swing and drove 'em wild
Then a talent scout from Vegas said "Boy, play and sing this way"
stop
And in one short year he was broke and in L.A.
(Chorus)
Instrumental Break (same as the Intro and Chorus) then
You gotta be real careful what you wish for, 'cause you just might get
the whole darn thing, Be sure what you want is something you can use-
G7(stop) C7
stop
Or you might wind up half dead, just singing the Blues
Chorus (and end with)
If you dance with who brung you to the bash---
Dance with who brung you to the bash
