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
