Dance Little Jean

In the style of

Nitty Gritty Dirt Band

Lyrics

i played a weddin'
for the money
and i wished
i coulda told
the bride and groom

just what i think
of marriage
and what's in store
after their
honeymoon

and i was grumblin'
to the dancers
about how
men and women
oughta live apart

and how a
promise never made
cannot be broken
and can never
break a heart

then suddenly
from outta nowhere
a little girl
came dancin'
'cross the floor

and all
her crinolines
were billowin'
beneath the skirt
of calico
that she wore

and oh what a joy
fell on
the honored guests
as each one of them
was drawn into
her dream

and they laughed
and stamped and
clapped their hands
and hollered at her
dance little jean

and they said
dance little jean
this day is for you
two people you love
stood up to say i do

dance little jean
a prayer that you had
was answered today
your mama's
marryin' your dad

well my cynical heart
just melted
'cause i figured
what this
get-together meant

how it ended
years of tears
and sad confusion
that the little girl
had spent

and they told the band
to pack it up
'bout the time
the couple
cut the cake

but we played as long
as they stayed
for love and laughs
and little jeannie's
sake

and we played
dance little jean
this day is for you
two people you love
stood up to say i do

dance little jean
a prayer that you had
was answered today
your mama's
marryin' your dad
it was answered today
your mama's
marryin' your dad
