The Lady Is Dancing With Me - Chris Ledoux

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 right… it'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 know… I 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, Naw… let's just dance a while…
