  Dance Little Jean 

          by

          Nitty Gritty Dirt Band

   

  G

  I played a wedding for the money, 

        G                   G7                 C

  and I wished that I could tell the bride and groom

       D                 D7

  Just what I thought of marriage

      C                             G

  And what in store after their honeymoon

            G

  and I was grumblin' to the dancers

            G             G7            C

  'bout how men and women ought to live apart

            D                             C 

  And how a promise never made can not be broken

          D                G

  And can never break your heart

   

  When sudenly from out of nowhere

  A little girl came dancing 'cross the floor

  All her crinolines were billowing

  Beneath the skirt of calico that she wore

  Oh what a joy fell on the honored guests

  As each of them was drawn inside her dream

  And they laughed and clapped and stomped their feet

  And hollered at her "Dance little Jean"

     G7   C                        G

          Dance, little Jean, this day is for you

              G          Em    A7                   D

          two people you love, stood up and said "I do"

          C                      G

          Dance little Jean, the prayer that you had

                C

          Was answered today

                      D7            G

          Your mama's marrying your dad

   

  Well, my cynical heart just melted

  'Cause I knew what this get together meant

  How it ended year of tears and sad confusion

  That the little girl had spent

  Well they told the band to pack it up

  About the time the couple cut the cake

  But we played as long as they stayed

  For love and laughs and little Jeanie's sake

   

          (Chorus)
