lady is dancing with me

Chris Ledoux

I was waltzin with my darlin at the cattleman s ball
Lost in the music and her charms
I was glidin around the dance floor she felt so good in my arms
When a tall dark stranger walked up and cut in
He said excuse me sir why don t you go have a seat
I said well listen here partner this may sound kinda crude
But the lady is dancin with me
Now I paid for the supper and I bought the drinks
So I feel that I ve got the right
Now I m sorry ole buddy but you just better back off
Or there s liable to be trouble here tonight
Now I can see that you re upset cause it s always been a tradition
To let a fine young gentleman cut in
But if you don t take your hands off my lady partner
I m gonna have to break your chin
Now I ve seen your kind before and I know exactly what s on your mind
Your woman probably left you for someone else
so you thought you d just take a run at mine
Yeah you though you d be leavin her later on
That s right it s all part of the game
Why don t you take my advice and on go back to the bar
In one piece the same way you came in
The stranger took off and I saw him tryin with someone else
And my lady well she scowled at me
And she said you know I think that was very uncouth
And goes against all the rules of chivalry
Then she smiled up at me with those beautiful eyes
And said Mister you know I kinda like your style
But do you think we should call up the sitter and check on the kids
I just grinned and said now let s just dance a while
