Dancin’ with Them that Brung Me

I believe in dancin' with them that brung me
That heart that won me
He brang me these flowers I wear
He said to me, «Gearle, come along
They’re playing our song
You’ll be the loveliest there»
I don’t know, everyone there sure is pretty
And, from the city
They look like they’ve done this before
I’m sure glad you’re with me
I’m gettin' dizzy
Just watchin' them spin around the floor
He’s such a fine gentleman
He’s a simple man
I know he truly cares
He held me close, he held me tight
Like I was the only one there
He took me into the night
Felt like dancin' on air
Oh, I believe
We left the dance laughin' at each other
And all them others
How Daddy left on the porch light
He walks me to the door
Holdin' hands, and, he then
Gently kissed me goodnight
