D G
Played a wedding for the money And I wish I could have told the bride and groom
A D
Just what I think of marriage And what's in store after their honeymoon
D G
I was grumblin' through the verses About how men and women ought to live apart
A D
How a promise never made can not be broken And can never break a heart
D G
Suddenly from out of nowhere This little girl came spinning across the floor
A D
Her crinolines were billowing Beneath the skirt of calico she wore
D G
As a joy fell on the honored guests As each of them was drawn into her dream
A
And they laughed and stamped and clapped their hands D
And hollered at her "Dance little Jean"
G A D
They say "Dance, little Jean, this day is for you"
D D/C# Bm E A
Two people that you love stood up to say "I do"
G A D
Dance little Jean, the prayer that you had
D D/E D/F# G A D
Was answered today your mama's marrying your dad
D G
Well, this cynics heart just melted As I figured what this get together meant
A D
How it ended years of tears and sad confusion That the little girl had spent
D G
They told the band to pack it up About the time the couple cut the cake
A
But we stayed and we played all night long D
For love and laughs and little Jeanie's sake
G A D
And we played "Dance, little Jean, this day is for you"
D D/C# Bm E A
Two people that you love stood up to say "I do"
G A D
Dance little Jean, the prayer that you had
D D/E D/F# G A D
Was answered today your mama's marrying your dad
G A D
And we say "Dance, little Jean, this day is for you"
D D/C# Bm E A
Two people that you love stood up to say "I do"
G A D
Dance little Jean, the prayer that you had
D D/E D/F# G A D
Was answered today your mama's marrying your dad
"DANCE LITTLE JEAN"
