My folks and sister would go and leave me home all alone
C D G
Going to that big square dance in town

Well my old radio would play that old opry show
Am D G
So I never got lonesome or blue
Em Bm
I'd fall asleep in my chair and dream that I was right there
Am A D
Just singing the whole night through

Am D G
And he played something steady and slow

And my sister Irene and her husband to be
Am A D
They held hands and began to stroll
