Robert Earl Keen - Young Lovers Waltz lyrics
Your rating:
Bob Wills is playing the old London hall The whole town was out in their best There is a boy called Caballo he sported a plow Fell in love with a girl in the blue cotton dress Now they weren't much on dancing that grand ballroom style But they shuffled across the dance floor in time She said I've nothing to offer he said I've nothing to take from you Except for your heart if you'll say you'll be mine Chorus: Young Lovers waltzing on the town square at dawn Round, round the courthouse with no chaperone It's a turn for a heartbeat and a turn for a sigh It's a turn for the waltzers that can't say goodbye There was biscuits and gravy sweat on the ground Harvesting late in the eve And he lay with his blue girl when they lost their first child Holding her to him away in their dreams Chorus The shadows grew longer the porch swing turned gray The sunlight gave way to the moon And I old Caballo rocking away Hums to his blue girl an old bob wills tune Chorus
