I never thought much of that fancy dancin,
With my two left feet and my rovin eye.
But when the band plays so well in that 3/4 time,
I could dance with my darlin until mornin' comes.
Play me a fiddle tune, sing me a song.
Anish misfortune, my time is not long.
Midnight on the water so steady and slow.
Stay up til the mornin one more for the road.
Midnight on the water so steady and slow.
Let's have another drink and set em up Joe.
Chorus
Well, I've done all my dancin down in those barrooms.
Dancin and drinkin go hand in glove.
So Give a beer to the fiddler, play all the old tunes
So I can dance closer to the one that I love.

Chorus

Midnight on the water so steady and slow.
Lets have another drink and set em up Joe.

Hope this is it.
