Capo 4

Bob Wills is playing the old London hall
The whole town was out in there best
There is a boy called Caballo he sported a plow
Fell in love with a girl in the blue cotton dress

Now they werent much on dancing that grand ballroom style
But they shuffled across the dance floor in time
She said Ive nothing to offer he said Ive nothing to take from you
Except for your heart if youll say youll be mine

Chorus:
Young Lovers waltzing on the town square at dawn
Round, round the courthouse with no chaperone
Its a turn for a heartbeat and a turn for a sigh
Its a turn for the waltzers that cant say goodbye

There was biscuits and gravy sweat on the ground
Harvesting late in the eve
And he lay with his blue girl when they lost their first child
Holding her to him away in their dreams

Chorus

The shadows grew longer the porch swing turned gray
The sunlight gave way to the moon
And I old Caballo rocking away
Hums to his blue girl an old bob wills tune

Chorus
