San Antonio Stroll Lyrics

When I was a child down in South Caroline
The Saturday sun went on down
My folks and sister would go and leave me home all alone
Goin' to that big square dance in town

Now my old radio would play that old opry show
So I never got lonesome or blue
I'd fall asleep in my chair and dream that I was right there
Just singing the whole night through

When my folks would come home
They'd be humming a song
Mama would smile and say child don't you know
There ain't a thing in this world
To make you fall in love girl like the San Antonio Stroll

Well, the day finally come when my mamma said, hun,
It's about time you came with us, as well
Oh, I had me a time, yes I danced all the night
Till they rang that old cracked-midnight bell

Then the lights went down low
The fiddler picked up his bow
And played something stately and slow
And my sister Ilene and her husband to be
They held hands and began to stroll

I've been away for a while
But it still brings a smile
When I think of the way that it goes
Oh now I'll sing it to you so we both can do that old San Antonio Stroll
Oh now I'll sing it to you so we both can do that old San Antonio Stroll
