Intro: G A C D G D

G                          A
When I was a child down in South Caroline, 
           C        D           G    D
Soon's the Saturday sun went on down
             G                            A
My folks and sister would go and leave me home all alone
      C            D              G 
Going to that big square dance in town 

        Em                        Bm
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

          G                              A
When my folks would come home, They'd be humming a song
       C               D               Em 
Mama'd smile and say, Child, don't you know”,
              C                                G            Em
There ain't a thing in this world, to make you fall in love girl, 
         A     D     G      D
Like the San Antonio Stroll

Instrumental: G A C D G D G A C D G D


         G                        A
Well the day finally come when my mama said, hun
           C             D          G    D
It's 'bout time you came with us as well
       G                    A
Well I had me a time, yes I danced all the night
         C             D              G
Til they rang that ol' crack-midnight bell

         Em                                Bm
Then the lights went down low, The fiddler picked up his bow
       Am               D          G
And he played something steady and slow
       Em                   Bm
And my sister Irene and her husband to be
          Am          A      D
They held hands and began to stroll

           G                       A
I've been away for a while, but it still brings a smile
       C            D           Em
When I think of the way that it goes
          C                         G        Em
 Now I'll sing it to you just so we both can do
         A     D     G     D
That old San Antonio Stroll

Instrumental: G A C D G D G A C D Em


         C                         G       Em 
Yes I'll sing it to you just so we all can do
         A     D     G
That old San Antonio Stroll
