G Played a wedding for the money C And I wish I could have told the bride and groom D7 Just what I think of marriage G What's in store after the honeymoon I was rumbling through the verses C About how men and women ought to live apart D7 How a promise never made could not be broken G And would never break a heart Suddenly from out of nowhere C This little girl came spinning across the floor D7 Her crinolines were billowing G Beneath the skirt of calico she wore As her joy fell on the honored guests C Each one of them was drawn into her dream D7 And they laughed and stamped and clapped their hands G And hollered at her dance little Jean C G They said dance little Jean this day is for you A7 D7 Two people that you love stood up to say I do C G C Dance little Jean the prayer that you had was answered today D7 G Your Momma's marrying your dad Well this cynic's heart just melted C As I figured what this get together meant D7 And how it ended years of tears G And sad confusions that the little girl had spent They told the band to pack it up C About the time the couple cut the cake D7 But we stayed and we played all night long G For love and laughs and little Jeanie's sake C G We played dance little Jean this day is for you A7 D7 Two people that you love stood up to say I do C G C Dance little Jean the prayer that you had was answered today D7 G Your Momma's marrying your dad C G We sang dance little Jean this day is for you A7 D7 Two people that you love stood up to say I do C G C Dance little Jean the prayer that you had was answered today D7 G Your momma's marrying your dad
