"The Lady Is Dancing With Me"

I was waltzin' with my darlin' at the cattleman's ball
Lost in the music and her charms
I was glidin' around the dancefloor, 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 pardner, this may sound kinda crude
But the lady is dancin' 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 t'night
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, pardner
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 chivilary
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 grined and said, Naw...let's just dance a while...
