San Antonio Stroll Lyrics

San Antonio Stroll - Tanya Tucker
When I was child down in South Caroline
Soons the Saturdays sun went on down
My folks and sister would go leave me home all alone
Going to that big square dance in town
Well my old radio would play that old opry show
So I never got lonesome or blue
I'd fall a-sleep in my chair And dream I was not there
Just a-singing the whole night through
When my folks would come home They'd be humming a song
Momma would smile and say Child don't you know
There ain't a thing in this world
To make you fall in love girl
Like the old San Antonio Stroll
Well the day finally would come when momma would say hon
It's about time you came with us as well
Well I had me a time Yes I danced all night
Till they rang that old cracked midnight bell
Then the lights went down low
the fiddler picked up his bow
And he played something stately and slow
And my sister, Eileen, and her husband to be
They held hands and began to stroll
I've been a-way for a while But it still brings a smile
When I think of the way that it goes
Now I'll sing it to you just so we both can do
That old San Antonio Stroll
Now I'll sing it to you just so we all can do
That old San Antonio Stroll...
