I never thought much of that fancy dancin,
With my two left feet and my rovin eye
But when the band plays so well in that 3/4 time,
I could dance with my darlin until mornin' comes
Play me a fiddle tune, sing me a song
Anish misfortune, my time is not long
Midnight on the water so steady and slow
Stay up til the mornin one more for the road
Midnight on the water so steady and slow
Let's have another drink and set em up Joe
Chorus
Well, I've done all my dancin down in those barrooms
Dancin and drinkin go hand in glove
So Give a beer to the fiddler, play all the old tunes
So I can dance closer to the one that I love

Chorus

Midnight on the water so steady and slow
Lets have another drink and set em up Joe

Hope this is it
