lyrics

Well I don't know what to say to the prettiest bridesmaid
And It's easy for some, but you got me stunned and dumb
And you know how it is when a man gets down
He won't know love from a hole in the ground
But I'm sick of the wait, and I'm sick of the fear
And it ends right here

Things were bad for me; I came across the sea
Never knowing just what I'd do
I got you old man doused at the the public house
And he took me on his crew
So I worked my way; showed up every day
And I was like an only son
Oh, I was a lonely one

And you know I do, whenever I see you
I always try to avert my eyes
But you caught my gaze as the glasses raise
And we toast the groom and bride
And though you're in the sight of every man tonight
I keep telling it to myself
"If the whisky's strong, and the band plays on, I can do no wrong."

So dance with me, won't you dance with me
Little Katie don't you turn me down
I been in a rut, but I could get the guts
If I can make it through one more round
And when the music stops, little goldilocks
In my heart you can confide
Hand in hand in the English Countryside

I had a girl back home. She left me all alone
Said I was born with two left feet
And that's the truth of it. You know I must admit
I can barely walk down the street
But if it takes one more to get me on that floor
Let me see what I can do
To spend some time with you

So dance with me, won't you dance with me
Little Katie don't you turn me down
I been in a rut, but I could get the guts
If I can make it through one more round
And when the music stops, little goldilocks
In my heart you can confide
Arm in Arm in the English Countryside

Alright.

And now we're face to face with my hands around your waist
And out here where we meet, there's no floor beneath my feet
You never had your fun with an American
But I can tell you that it's alright
Oh, Katie you're on my mind

So dance with me, won't you dance with me
Little Katie don't you turn me down
I been in a rut, but I could get the guts
If I can make it through one more round
And when the music stops, little goldilocks
In my heart you can confide
Lay you down in the English Countryside
