San Antonio Stroll

When I was a child down in south

Caroline soon's the

Saturday sun went on down

My folk's and sister would go and leave me home all alone

Goin' to that big square dance in town

Well my old radio would play that ol' opry show so

I never got lonsome or blue

I'd fall asleep in my chair and dream that

I was right there just a-singing the whole night through

When my folks would come home they'd be humming a song

Mamma'd 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 San Antonio Stroll"

Well the day finally come when my momma said "Hon' It's 'bout 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 away 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 ol'

San Antonio

Stroll Now

I'll sing it to you just so well all can do that ol'

San Antonio

Stroll
