| Excuse me, maґm
|
| Iґd like your daughterґs hand for the evening
|
| Thereґs a new band in town
|
| Iґd like to take her down to see ґem
|
| The fiddler player used to be my neighbor

|
| He plays the ЂњStrawberry RoanЂќ
|
| When he gets going he can play all night

| Heґs a no good Texas cowboy, child

| She said Iґve met his kind before

| Weґll be late for the show
|
| And I took her hand and said letґs go And her mama said:
|
| Heґs a no good …

|
| I think you know the band
|
| Iґd like to take her down to see ґem
|
| Iґd been led to understand the fiddler was your man
|
| Thatґs why he never slept a day in his life
|
| He plays the ЂњStrawberry RoanЂќ
|
| Just to get you going then you play all night.
