When I was a child down in South 
Caroline
           D        E           A
Soon's the Saturday sun went on 
   E
down
             A                  
My folks and sister would go and 
          B
leave me home all alone
      D           E               
Going to that big square dance in 
A
town
        F#m                       
Well my old radio would play that 
C#m
old opry show
     Bm        E           A
So I never got lonesome or blue
           F#m                 
I'd fall asleep in my chair and 
           C#m
dream that I was right there
     Bm          B            E
Just singing the whole night through
Continúa después del anuncio
        A
When my folks would come home
          B
They'd be humming a song
       D                E         
Mama'd smile and say, "Child, 
      F#m
don't you know,
              D
there ain't a thing in this world to
 make you
A            F#m            
fall in love girl, like the San

Antonio Stroll"

         A                        
Well the day finally come when my 
B
mama said, hun
           D             E        
It's 'bout time you came with us 
  A    E
as well
       A                     B
Well I had me a time, yes I danced 
all the night
         D            
Til they rang that ol' 
 E              A
crack-midnight bell
         F#m
Then the lights went down low
            C#m
The fiddler picked up his bow
       Bm               E          
And he played something steady and 
A
slow
       F#m                  C#m
And my sister Irene and her husband 
to be
          Bm          B       E
They held hands and began to stroll
           A                       
I've been away for a while, but it 
E
still brings a smile
       D            E           F#m
When I think of the way that it goes
         D                         
Now I'll sing it to you just so we 
A        F#m
both can do
         B     E     A     E
That old San Antonio Stroll
