I was with my darlin' at the cattleman's ball. in the music and her charms. I was glidin' around the dancefloor, she so good in my arms. When a tall dark stranger up, and cut in. He said, excuse me sir, why don't you go a seat. I said well listen' here pardner, this may kinda crude, But the is dancin' with me. Now I for the supper, an' I bought the drinks, So I feel I've got the right, Now I'm sorry ole buddy, but you just back off, Or liable to be trouble here t'night. Now I can see you're upset, 'cause it's always been a tradition, To let a young gentleman cut in, But if you don't your hands off my lady, pardner, I'm gonna to break your chin. Now, seen your kind before and I know, Exactly on your mind. Your woman left you, for someone else, So you thought you'd just a run at mine. Yeah, you you'd be leavin' her later on, right...it's all part of the game. Why don't you take my and on go back to the bar, In one piece, the way you came in. The stranger took off and I saw him tryin' someone else. An' my well, she scowled at me, An' she said, you know...I think was very uncouth, And against all the rules of chivilary. Then she up at me, with those beautiful eyes, An' said, Mister, you know I like your style, But do you think we should call up the sitter and on the kids? I just and said, Naw...let's just dance a while...
