( Im in love with the girl with the golden, Cant live without the girl with the golden . . . braids! ) I saw a gal with golden hair Dancin as I played Never saw a gal so fair As the girl with the golden braids! I was travellin with a band, Came to town and stayed Knew Id have to seek the hand Of the girl with the golden braids! Oh! . . . dance girl, dance an sway, Dance an steal my heart away, So many fellas stand in line But I knew youd be mine! Yes, youd be mine! Knew I had to take a chance, So I made a trade Gave my fiddle for a dance With the girl with the golden braids Now Im thru forever more, Roamin never paid Found that life that I adore With the girl with the golden braids! Oh! . . . dance girl, dance an sway, Dance an steal my heart away, So many fellas stand in line But I knew youd be mine! Oh! . . . youd be mine! < instrumental break > Dance girl, dance an sway, Dance an steal my heart away, So many fellas stand in line But I knew youd be mine! Youd be mine! Now the boys are talkin of My last serenade Lucky me, Im so in love With the girl with the golden braids! Ever since that night in june, Lifes a rosy shade, Dancin on my honeymoon With the gal with the golden braids! Oh! . . . dance girl, dance an sway, Dance an steal my heart away, So many fellas stand in line But I knew youd be mine! Dance girl, dance an sway, Dance an steal my heart away, So many fellas stand in line But I knew youd be mine! Yes . . . I knew youd be mine!
