The Lady Is Dancing With Me Lyrics - 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, well, listen' here partner, this may sound kinda crude 

But the lady is dancing with me 

Now I paid for the supper an' I bought the drinks 

So I feel that I've got the right 

Now I'm sorry ole buddy but you just better back off 

Or there's liable to be trouble here tonight 

Now I can see that 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, partner 

I'm gonna have to break your chin 

Now, I've seen your kind before 

And I know exactly what's on your mind 

Your woman probably left you for someone else 

So you thought you'd just take a run at mine 

Yeah, you though you'd be leavin' her later on 

That's right it's all part of the game 

Why don't you take my advice and on go back to the bar 

In one piece, the same way you came in 

The stranger took off and I saw him tryin' with someone 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, Mister, you know I kinda like your style 

But do you think we should call up the sitter and check on the kids? 

I just grinned and said, naw, let's just dance a while
