Capo 4


Bm                       A
Bob Wills is playing the old London hall
    G              A            Bm
The whole town was out in there best
           Bm                    A
There is a boy called Caballo he sported a plow
        G           A                       D
Fell in love with a girl in the blue cotton dress

Now they weren’t much on dancing that grand ballroom style
But they shuffled across the dance floor in time
She said I’ve nothing to offer he said I’ve nothing to take from you
Except for your heart if you’ll say you’ll be mine


Chorus:
Bm                           E7
Young Lovers waltzing on the town square at dawn
A                                D
Round, round the courthouse with no chaperone
       Bm                         E7
It’s a turn for a heartbeat and a turn for a sigh
       G            A                           D
It’s a turn for the waltzers that can’t say goodbye


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

The shadows grew longer the porch swing turned gray 
The sunlight gave way to the moon
And I old Caballo rocking away 
Hums to his blue girl an old bob wills tune

Chorus
