Dance Little Jean
Written by Jimmy Ibbotson (Nitty Gritty Dirt Band)
G
I Played a wedding for the money
G C
And I wish I could have told the bride and groom
D7
Just what I think of marriage
D7 G
And what's in store after their honeymoon
G
And I was grumblin' to the dancers
G C
About how men and women ought to live apart
D7
And how a promise never made can not be broken
D7 G
And can never break a heart
G
Then suddenly from out of nowhere
G C
A little girl came dancing 'cross the floor
D7
And all her crinolines were billowing
D7 G
Beneath the skirt of calico she wore
G
And Oh what a joy fell on the honored guests
G C
As each one of them was drawn into her dream
D7
And they laughed and stamped and clapped their hands
D7 G
And hollered at her "dance little Jean"
C D7 G
And they said dance little Jean this day is for you
Em A7 D7
Two people you love stood up to say I do
C D7 G C
Dance little Jean that prayer that you had was answered today
D7 G
Your Mamma's marryin' your dad
G
Well my cynical heart just melted
G C
'Cause I figured what this get together meant
D7
And how it ended years of tears
D7 G
And sad confusion that the little girl had spent
G
And they told the band to pack it up
G C
About the time the couple cut the cake
D7
But we played as long as they stayed
D7 G
For love and laughs and little Jeanie's sake
C D7 G
And we played dance little Jean this day is for you
Em A7 D7
Two people that you love stood up to say I do
C D7 G C
Dance little Jean the prayer that you had was answered today
D7 G
Your mamma's marrying your dad
C D7 G
We sang dance little Jean this day is for you
Em A7 D7
Two people that you love stood up to say I do
C D7 G C
Dance little Jean the prayer that you had was answered today
D7 G
Your mamma's marrying your dad
