Dance Little Jean

G
Played a wedding for the money

And I wish I could have told the 
          C
bride and groom

          D7
Just what I think of marriage

                               G
What's in store after the honeymoon



I was rumbling through the verses

About how men and women ought to 
     C
live apart

      D7
How a promise never made could not 
be broken

                        G
And would never break a heart



Suddenly from out of nowhere

This little girl came spinning 
           C
across the floor

    D7
Her crinolines were billowing

                                G
Beneath the skirt of calico she wore

As her joy fell on the honored 
guests

Each one of them was drawn into her 
C
dream

         D7
And they laughed and stamped and 
clapped their hands

And hollered at her dance little 
G
Jean


          C                        
They said dance little Jean this 
         G
day is for you

                         A7        
Two people that you love stood up 
        D7
to say I do

C                                 
Dance little Jean the prayer that 
    G                C
you had was answered today

     D7                    G
Your Momma's marrying your dad



Well this cynic's heart just melted

As I figured what this get together 
C
meant

           D7
And how it ended years of tears

And sad confusions that the little 
         G
girl had spent



They told the band to pack it up

About the time the couple cut the 
C
cake

       D7
But we stayed and we played all 
night long

For love and laughs and little 
         G
Jeanie's sake


          C                        
We played dance little Jean this 
         G
day is for you

                         A7        
Two people that you love stood up 
        D7
to say I do

C                                 
Dance little Jean the prayer that 
    G                C
you had was answered today

     D7                    G
Your Momma's marrying your dad


        C                          
We sang dance little Jean this day 
       G
is for you

                         A7        
Two people that you love stood up 
        D7
to say I do

C                                 
Dance little Jean the prayer that 
    G                C
you had was answered today
