It was the first time ever he saw her He saw his future in a long white cotton gown Sittin' there at the church house, she was gonna get baptized They was gonna have dinner on the grounds So the very next Friday, he got off at the sawmill He slicked his hair back, he had a pocket full of pay When she opened up the front door, he was grinnin' like a possum As he handed her a daisy, she heard him say Hey, let's go dancin' to the tune of a twenty dollar bill They've got a fine fiddle band at the barn up on the hill And by midnight we just might wind up dancin' standin' still By my daddy's lantern light, let me walk you home After they got married, it didn't seem like no time They just sayin' their goodbye's, he's a goin' to the big world war 'Bout a lifetime later, she's a waitin' at the depot He said I ain't a gonna leave you, no, never no more Said let's go dancin' to the tune of a twenty dollar bill They've got a fine fiddle band at the barn up on the hill And by midnight we just might wind up dancin' standin' still By my daddy's lantern light, let me walk you home In front of friends and kinfolk and all of us grandkids In the same little church house, in a long white cotton gown He bent down and he kissed her, he said, I'm right behind you, honey It wasn't long 'til we laid him in the ground And now they're dancin' to the tune of a twenty dollar bill They've got a fine fiddle band at the barn up on the hill And by midnight they just might wind up dancin' standin' still By the Father's lantern light, they're walkin' home
