( Im in love with the girl with the golden,
Cant live without the girl with the golden . . . braids! )
I saw a gal with golden hair
Dancin as I played
Never saw a gal so fair
As the girl with the golden braids!
I was travellin with a band,
Came to town and stayed
Knew Id have to seek the hand
Of the girl with the golden braids!
Oh! . . . dance girl, dance an sway,
Dance an steal my heart away,
So many fellas stand in line
But I knew youd be mine!
Yes, youd be mine!
Knew I had to take a chance,
So I made a trade
Gave my fiddle for a dance
With the girl with the golden braids
Now Im thru forever more,
Roamin never paid
Found that life that I adore
With the girl with the golden braids!
Oh! . . . dance girl, dance an sway,
Dance an steal my heart away,
So many fellas stand in line
But I knew youd be mine!
Oh! . . . youd be mine!
< instrumental break >
Dance girl, dance an sway,
Dance an steal my heart away,
So many fellas stand in line
But I knew youd be mine!
Youd be mine!
Now the boys are talkin of
My last serenade
Lucky me, Im so in love
With the girl with the golden braids!
Ever since that night in june,
Lifes a rosy shade,
Dancin on my honeymoon
With the gal with the golden braids!
Oh! . . . dance girl, dance an sway,
Dance an steal my heart away,
So many fellas stand in line
But I knew youd be mine!
Dance girl, dance an sway,
Dance an steal my heart away,
So many fellas stand in line
But I knew youd be mine!
Yes . . . I knew youd be mine!
