Dance Little Jean

G
Played a wedding for the money

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

          D7
Just what I think of marriage

                               G
What's in store after the honeymoon



I was rumbling through the verses

                                      C
About how men and women ought to live apart

      D7
How a promise never made could not be broken

                        G
And would never break a heart



Suddenly from out of nowhere

                                          C
This little girl came spinning across the floor

    D7
Her crinolines were billowing

                                G
Beneath the skirt of calico she wore

As her joy fell on the honored guests

                                    C
Each one of them was drawn into her dream

         D7
And they laughed and stamped and clapped their hands

                                 G
And hollered at her dance little Jean


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

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

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

     D7                    G
Your Momma's marrying your dad



Well this cynic's heart just melted

                                    C
As I figured what this get together meant

           D7
And how it ended years of tears

                                            G
And sad confusions that the little girl had spent



They told the band to pack it up

                                  C
About the time the couple cut the cake

       D7
But we stayed and we played all night long

                                        G
For love and laughs and little Jeanie's sake


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

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

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

     D7                    G
Your Momma's marrying your dad


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

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

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

     D7                    G
Your momma's marrying your dad
