Lyrics
SATURDAY NIGHT PROMENADE
Words and Music by Dave Sturgeon
Every now and then I think back
To the first time that our eyes met
I recall the perfume that you wore
I walked to where you were standing
The caller saw you put your hand in
Mine, and we walked out on the floor.
chorus
And the fiddler pulled on his bow
Granny called doe see doo
We'd twist and twirl like we were gettin' paid
We shone the floors at Hudson Hall
Elm 'm left and your corners all
Saturday night promenade
The people came from miles around
To the little hall 10 miles from town
Mothers, brothers, fathers, friends and aunts
They wished us well but here's the truth
Our wedding day was a fine excuse
For our family and our friends to have a dance
(chorus)
Well these days when I've had my fill
Of workin' all week to pay the bills
Just a handfull of change on the dresser in a mug
I call my friends on the telephone
Say pack the kids we're headed home
To the "Double-H", It's time to cut the rug.
