I was waltzin' with my darlin' at the cattleman's ball
Lost in the music and her charms
I was glidin' around the dancefloor, she felt so good in my arms
When a tall dark stranger walked up, and cut in
He said, excuse me sir, why don't you go have a seat
I said well listen' here pardner, this may sound kinda crude,
But the lady is dancin' with me
Now I paid for the supper, an' I bought the drinks,
So I feel that I've got the right,
Now I'm sorry ole buddy, but you just better back off,
Or there's liable to be trouble here t'night
Now I can see that you're upset, 'cause it's always been a tradition,
To let a fine young gentleman cut in,
But if you don't take your hands off my lady, pardner,
I'm gonna have to break your chin
Now, I've seen your kind before and I know,
Exactly what's on your mind
Your woman probably left you, for someone else,
So you thought you'd just take a run at mine
Yeah, you though you'd be leavin' her later on,
That's rightit's all part of the game
Why don't you take my advice and on go back to the bar,
In one piece, the same way you came in
The stranger took off and I saw him tryin' with someone else
An' my lady well, she scowled at me,
An' she said, you knowI think that was very uncouth,
And goes against all the rules of chivilary
Then she smiled up at me, with those beautiful eyes,
An' said, Mister, you know I kinda like your style,
But do you think we should call up the sitter and check on the kids?
I just grined and said, Nawlet's just dance a while
