I^Gt was the first time ever h^De saw her ^DHe saw his future in a ^Clong white ^Dcotton^G gown ^GSittin' there at the church house, she was gonna get ^Dbaptized ^DThey was gonna have dinner on the ^Ggrounds

^GSo the very next Friday, he^D got off at the sawmill ^DHe slicked his hair back, he had a ^Cpocket ^Dfull o^Gf pay ^GWhen she opened up the front door, he was grinnin' like a ^Dpossum ^DAs he handed her a daisy, she heard him^G say

^GHey, let's go dancin' to the tune of a ^Ctwenty dollar bill ^CThey've got a fine fiddle band at the ^Gbarn up on the hill ^GAnd by midnight we just might wind up ^Cdancin' standin' still ^CBy my daddy's lantern ^Dlight, let me walk you ^Ghome

^GAfter they got married, it didn't seem like no^D time ^DThey just sayin' their goodbye's, he's a ^Cgoin' to the ^Dbig ^Gworld war ^G'Bout a lifetime later, she's a waitin' at the ^Ddepot ^DHe said I ain't a gonna leave you, no, never no^G more

^GSaid let's go dancin' to the tune of a ^Ctwenty dollar bill ^CThey've got a fine fiddle band at the ^Gbarn up on the hill ^GAnd by midnight we just might wind up ^Cdancin' standin' still ^CBy my daddy's lantern ^Dlight, let me walk you ^Ghome

^GIn front of friends and kinfolk and all of us ^Dgrandkids ^DIn the same little church house, in a ^Clong white ^Dcotton^G gown ^GHe bent down and he kissed her, he said, I'm right behind you, ^Dhoney ^DIt wasn't long 'til we laid him in the ^Gground

^GAnd now they're dancin' to the tune of a ^Ctwenty dollar bill ^CThey've got a fine fiddle band at the ^Gbarn up on the hill ^GAnd by midnight they just might wind up ^Cdancin' standin' still ^CBy the Father's lantern ^Dlight, they're walkin' ^Ghome
