Lyrics The Lady Is Dancing With Me - Chris LeDoux

I was waltzin' with my darlin' at the cattleman's ball
Lost in the music and her charms
I was glidin' around the dance floor
She felt so good in my arms
When a tall dark stranger walked up and cut in
He said, "Excuse me sir, why don't you go have a seat?"
I said, "Now listen' here pardner, this may sound kinda crude"
But the lady, she is dancin' with me

I paid for the supper, an' I bought the drinks
So I feel that I've got the right
Now I'm sorry ol' buddy, but you just better bug off
Or there's liable to be trouble here t'night
Now I can see you're upset, 'cause it's always been a tradition
To let a fine young gentleman cut in
But if you don't take your hands off my lady, pardner
I'm gonna have to break your chin

I've seen your kind before and I know
Exactly what's on your mind
Your woman probably left you for somebody else
So you thought you'd just take a run at mine
Yeah, and you thought you'd be leavin' with her later on
That's right, it's all part of the game
Why don't you take my advice and just go on back to the bar
In one piece, the same way you came

Well, the stranger took off and I saw him tryin' with somebody else
An' my lady well, she scowled at me
An' she said, "You know, I think that was very uncouth"
And goes against all the rules of chivalry
Then she smiled up at me with those beautiful eyes
An' said, "You know mister, I kinda like your style"
But do you think we oughta call up the sitter, maybe check on the kids?
I just grined and said, "No, let's just dance a while"
