Dance Little Jean
by
Nitty Gritty Dirt Band
FI played a wedding for the money,
and I Fwished that I could C7tell the bride and Fgroom
Just Gwhat I thought of G7marriage
And Fwhat in store after their honeFymoon
and I was Fgrumblin' to the dancers
'bout how Fmen and women C7ought to live Fapart
And how a Gpromise never made can not be Fbroken
And can Gnever break your Fheart
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"
C7 FDance, little Jean, this Fday is for you
two Fpeople you Amlove, Fstood up and said &quGot;I do"
FDance little Jean, the Fprayer that you had
Was anFswered today
Your mama's G7marrying your Fdad
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)
