The day she was born Down on the farm She could bend like a young willow tree And she started a-singin' and a-dancin' around At the ripe old age of three She'd sing and she'd dance Every time she got the chance She just could not be controlled And she started stepping out late at night When she was just thirteen years old She could dance Lord God, she could dance She just danced her young life away From dusk 'til dawn 'Til the cows come home As long as the music would play Yeah, she could dance Lord God, she could dance She just danced her young life away She was sweet sixteen When she run into me It was down at the Panther Hall She kicked off her shoes And was dancing' the blues It was the dangdest thing you ever saw She could dance Lord God, she could dance She just danced my heart away I made her my wife And she danced through my life Like a whirlwind in a storm We sashayed around From town to town 'Cause she didn't give a hoot about the home She could dance Lord God, she could dance She's still dancing my heart away From dusk 'til dawn 'Til the cows come home As long as the music would play She can dance Lord God, she can dance She's still dancin' to this very day She could dance Lord God, she could dance She's still dancing my heart away
