A B7
When I was child down in South Caroline
D A
Soons the Saturdays sun went on down
A B7
My folks and sister would go leave me home all alone
D A
Going to that big square dance in town
F#m A
Well my old radio would play that old opry show
D A
So I never got lonesome or blue
F#m A
I'd fall a-sleep in my chair And dream I was not there
B7 E
Just a-singing the whole night through
A B7
When my folks would come home They'd be humming a song
D A
Momma would smile and say Child don't you know
D
There ain't a thing in this world
A
To make you fall in love girl
B7 E A
Like the old San Antonio Stroll
A B7
Well the day finally would come when momma would say hon
D A
It's about time you came with us as well
A B7
Well I had me a time Yes I danced all night
D A
Till they rang that old cracked midnight bell
F#m
Then the lights went down low
A
the fiddler picked up his bow
D A
And he played something stately and slow
F#m A
And my sister, Eileen, and her husband to be
D E
They held hands and began to stroll
A B7
I've been a-way for a while But it still brings a smile
D A
When I think of the way that it goes
D A
Now I'll sing it to you just so we both can do
B7 E A
That old San Antonio Stroll
D A
Now I'll sing it to you just so we all can do
B7 E A
That old San Antonio Stroll...
