Capo 4

Bm A

Bob Wills is playing the old London hall

G A Bm

The whole town was out in there best

Bm A

There is a boy called Caballo he sported a plow

G A D

Fell in love with a girl in the blue cotton dress

Now they weren’t much on dancing that grand ballroom style

But they shuffled across the dance floor in time

She said I’ve nothing to offer he said I’ve nothing to take from you

Except for your heart if you’ll say you’ll be mine

Chorus:

Bm E7

Young Lovers waltzing on the town square at dawn

A D

Round, round the courthouse with no chaperone

Bm E7

It’s a turn for a heartbeat and a turn for a sigh

G A D

It’s a turn for the waltzers that can’t say goodbye

There was biscuits and gravy sweat on the ground

Harvesting late in the eve

And he lay with his blue girl when they lost their first child

Holding her to him away in their dreams

Chorus

The shadows grew longer the porch swing turned gray

The sunlight gave way to the moon

And I old Caballo rocking away

Hums to his blue girl an old bob wills tune

Chorus
