Charley Gray's Barn Dance |
| Now we always went to dances down at dear old Charley Grays |
| Everyone was singin, everyone was gay |
| Now the place has come alive |
| Everybody’s learned to jive, way down |
| Way down that way |
| And now fiddler Joe has tossed away his rosin and his bow |
| Blowin' on a saxophone, you ought to hear him go |
| Everybody starts to move when Joseph gets into the groove and they |
| Oh they really go, Yeah Man |
| Now we play our country music like it’s never been played before |
| Kept up Swanee River and ol' Dan Murphy’s door |
| The ol' folk say for goodness sake |
| For the country kids can really shake and they, all yell for more |
| Now I can play in country music both the bitter and the sweet |
| Telling of the places and the people that you meet |
| Everything was goin' stale until one day we hit the nail and played |
| That boogie beat Here we go now |
| Now when Saturday comes round and we’re all ready for a ball |
| Everybody gathers, answering the call |
| Music flowin' thru' the trees, guitars rockin' 'round our knees, way down |
| At the old dance hall |
| 'Cause we play our country music like it’s never been played before |
| Kept up Swanee River and ol' Dan Murphy’s door |
| The old folk say for goodness sake |
| For the country kids can really shake and they, all yell for more |
