If You Want To Go Dancing

from Bootleg Sessions V by Bootleg Slim

lyrics

Riding on my pony through a one-horse town
a one-way street, the wrong way down
I hitched up my pony at an old saloon
I went inside I saw the men swoon

I ordered a beer; they wouldn't let me pay
they said the occasion was a very special day
thay hadn't seen a woman in a long long time
and never one lookin' so fine

I accepted their offer to be polite
I had no intention of staying all night
the beer was warm and the floor was sticky
the men, they weren't so pretty

so I went to the jukeboox to pick a tune
a man followed me across the room
he said, "that thing's been broken for at least a year,
but I know a song you'd like to hear."

"If you wanna go dancin'
I'll shine your shoes
If you need some money
I'll pay my dues
If you're feelin' hungry
I'll cook a stew
If you want some lovin'
I'm right here next to you."

The next thing I knew, I was standing on a bar,
strummin' these chords on a beat-up guitar
I was shakin' my hips I was swingin' my hair
I was shouting, "sing up down there!"

And every head in that bar was turned
they loved the sound of the words they heard
they had the devil horns I had the angel wings
and they sure loved to sing

"If you wanna go dancin'...

The rest of the night turned into a fog
soon I was drinkin' the "hair of the dog"
I hopped on my pony and rode along
singin' that same old song

"If you wanna go dancin'...
