[Verse 1] Bob Wills is playing the old London Hall The whole town was out in their best There is a boy called Caballo He sported a plow Fell in love with the girl in the blue cotton dress [Verse 2] Now they werent much on dancing that grand ballroom style But they shuffled across the dance floor in time She said Ive nothing to offer He said, Ive nothing to take from you Except for your heart if youll say youll be mine [Chorus] The young lovers waltzing on the town square at dawn Round, round the courthouse with no chaperone Its a turn for a heartbeat and a turn for a sigh Its a turn for the waltzers who cant say goodbye [Verse 3] There was biscuits and gravy, sweat on the ground Harvesting late in the eve And he lay with his blue girl when they lost their first child Holding her to him away in their dreams [Chorus] Well, young lovers waltzing on the town square at dawn Round, round the courthouse with no chaperone Its a turn for a heartbeat and a turn for a sigh Its a turn for the waltzers who cant say goodbye [Verse 4] The shadows grew longer, the porch swing turned gray The sunlight gave way to the moon And that bent, old Caballo rocking away Hums to his blue girl an old Bob Wills tune [Chorus] Of young lovers waltzing on the town square at dawn Round, round the courthouse with no chaperone Its a turn for a heartbeat and a turn for a sigh Its a turn for the waltzers who cant say goodbye Its a turn for the waltzers who cant say goodbye
