Dance with Who Brung You Songtext

von Asleep at the Wheel

This is an Asleep at the Wheel number on their tribute to Bob
Wills album of about a year ago. The album won an award, if I remember
Correctly.
Dance With Who Brung You--- by Asleep at the Wheel (a Western Swing)
Key of
4ths
(same as the melody of the Chorus)
[Chorus]
You got to dance with who brung you, swing with who swung you,
Don't be a fickle fool, You came here with a gal, who's always been your
Pal, don't leave her for the first unattached girl, it just ain't cool
You got to dance with who brung you, swing with who swung you,
Life ain't no forty-yard dash, be in it for the long run,
'cause in the long run you'll have more fun, if you dance with who brung
You to the bash
[Verse 1]
I had a friend from Texas, he really had some style, he sang that good
Old Western Swing and drove 'em wild
Then a talent scout from Vegas said "Boy, play and sing this way"
And in one short year he was broke and in L.A.
[Chorus]
Instrumental Break (same as the and Chorus) then
[Verse 2]
You gotta be real careful what you wish for, 'cause you just might get
The whole darn thing, Be sure what you want is something you can use-
Or you might wind up half dead, just singing the Blues
[Chorus: and end with]
If you dance with who brung you to the bash---
Dance with who brung you to the bash
