Just a country girl from Malone
5 1
Liked to dance to rock and roll

Left that red-haired boy all alone

Travelin’ ’round from town to town

I call these dances in these honky tonk bars
5 1
Where they dance the do-sido

Change to the center with the right hand start
5 1
Swing that gal from Buffalo
5 4 1
Take your partner and you do-si-do
5 4 6m
Swing her high and swing her low
1 5
Don’t you let that good girl go
4 3 2m 5 1
Oh no
I play for drinks just to drown these blues
I often wonder how you are
Let’s get together like old friends do
A hundred miles ain’t that far
Things aren’t going now as I had planned
Honey I can’t take much more
I call these dances in these honky tonk bars
All night long ’til early morn’
If I can’t have you then I will go
To the state of Texas I will roam
Now down in Texas you can always get a job
If you can play that Cotton-Eyed Joe
At two a.m. those wild fiddles ring
And the crowd can’t get enough
And though I’m smilin’ sadly my heart sings
For Laura Jean my only love
