Tanya Tucker
Intro: Mandolin: F#m-G#m-C#m
Guitar: A-B-D-E-A
A B
When I was a child down in South Caroline,
D E A E
Soon's the Saturday sun went on down
A B
My folks and sister would go and leave me home all alone
D E A
Going to that big square dance in town
F#m C#m
Well my old radio would play that old opry show
Bm E A
So I never got lonesome or blue
F#m C#m
I'd fall asleep in my chair and dream that I was right there
Bm B E
Just singing the whole night through
A B
When my folks would come home, They'd be humming a song
D E F#m
Mama'd smile and say, "Child, don't you know",
D A F#m
There ain't a thing in this world, to make you fall in love girl,
B E A E
Like the San Antonio Stroll"
Instrumental:A-B-D-E-A-B-D-E-A-E
A B
Well the day finally come when my mama said, hun
D E A E
It's 'bout time you came with us as well
A B
Well I had me a time, yes I danced all the night
D E A
Til they rang that ol' crack-midnight bell
F#m C#m
Then the lights went down low, The fiddler picked up his bow
Bm E A
And he played something steady and slow
F#m C#m
And my sister Irene and her husband to be
Bm B E
They held hands and began to stroll
A B
I've been away for a while, but it still brings a smile
D E F#m
When I think of the way that it goes
D A F#m
Now I'll sing it to you just so we both can do
B E A E
That old San Antonio Stroll
Instrumental:A-B-D-E-A-B-D-E-A
D A F#m
Yes I'll sing it to you just so we all can do
B E A
That old San Antonio Stroll
Outro: A-B-D-E-A
