GPlayed a wedding for the money
And I wish I could have told the bride and Cgroom
Just whD7at I think of marriage
And what's in store after their honeyGmoon
GAnd I was Grumbling to the dancers
'Bout how men and women ought to live Capart
And hoD7w a promise never made could not be broken
And can never break your Gheart
GThen suddenly from out of nowhere
A little girl came dancin' 'cross the flooCr
And D7all her crinolines were billowing
Beneath the skirt of calico she Gwore
GAnd what a joy fell on the honored guests
As each one of them was drawn into hCer dream
And they D7laughed and stamped and clapped their hands
And hollered at her "Dance littleG Jean"
And they said dCance little Jean this Dday is for yoGu
Two people you love stood A7up to say "I dD7o"
CDance little Jean a praDyer that you hadG was answered todCay
Your Momma's mD7arrying your dGad
GWell this cynic's heart just melted
Cuz I figured what this get together mCeant
And how it D7ended years of tears
And sad confusion that the little girl had sGpent
GAnd They told the band to pack it up
About the time the couple cut the Ccake
But we D7played as long as they stayed
For love and laughs and little Jeanie's Gsake
And We plaCyed dance little Jean this dDay is for Gyou
Two people you love stood uA7p to say I D7do
CDance little Jean a pDrayer that you hGad was answered tCoday
Your Momma's mD7arrying your dGad

Your momma's mD7arrying your Gdad (instrumental wedding march intro) DGO DO DO-DO, DDO DO DO-DGO
