( Im in love with the girl with the golden,

Cant live without the girl with the golden . . . braids! )



I saw a gal with golden hair

Dancin as I played

Never saw a gal so fair

As the girl with the golden braids!

I was travellin with a band,

Came to town and stayed

Knew Id have to seek the hand

Of the girl with the golden braids!



Oh! . . . dance girl, dance an sway,

Dance an steal my heart away,

So many fellas stand in line

But I knew youd be mine!

Yes, youd be mine!



Knew I had to take a chance,

So I made a trade

Gave my fiddle for a dance

With the girl with the golden braids

Now Im thru forever more,

Roamin never paid

Found that life that I adore

With the girl with the golden braids!



Oh! . . . dance girl, dance an sway,

Dance an steal my heart away,

So many fellas stand in line

But I knew youd be mine!

Oh! . . . youd be mine!



< instrumental break >



Dance girl, dance an sway,

Dance an steal my heart away,

So many fellas stand in line

But I knew youd be mine!

Youd be mine!



Now the boys are talkin of

My last serenade

Lucky me, Im so in love

With the girl with the golden braids!

Ever since that night in june,

Lifes a rosy shade,

Dancin on my honeymoon

With the gal with the golden braids!



Oh! . . . dance girl, dance an sway,

Dance an steal my heart away,

So many fellas stand in line

But I knew youd be mine!



Dance girl, dance an sway,

Dance an steal my heart away,

So many fellas stand in line

But I knew youd be mine!



Yes . . . I knew youd be mine!
