SOL
I played a wedding for the money,
SOL SOL7 DO
and I wished that I could tell the bride and groom
RE RE7
Just what I thought of marriage
DO SOL
And what in store after their honeymoon
SOL
and I was grumblin' to the dancers
SOL SOL7 DO
'bout how men and women ought to live apart
RE DO
And how a promise never made can not be broken
RE SOL
And can never break your heart
When sudenly from out of nowhere
A little girl came dancing 'cross the floor
All her crinolines were billowing
Beneath the skirt of calico that she wore
Oh what a joy fell on the honored guests
As each of them was drawn inside her dream
And they laughed and clapped and stomped their feet
And hollered at her "Dance little Jean"
SOL7 DO SOL
Dance, little Jean, this day is for you
SOL MIm DO RE
two people you love, stood up and said "I do"
DO SOL
Dance little Jean, the prayer that you had
DO
Was answered today
RE7 SOL
Your mama's marrying your dad
Well, my cynical heart just melted
'Cause I knew what this get together meant
How it ended year of tears and sad confusion
That the little girl had spent
Well they told the band to pack it up
About the time the couple cut the cake
But we played as long as they stayed
For love and laughs and little Jeanie's sake
(Chorus)
