[F#] How's [B] everybody doing at the Festival of Lights?

[B] Just a country [E] girl from the low,
[F#] like a dancer robbed and robed.
Left that red-haired [E] boy all alone, [F#]
running round from town to town.
I call these dances [B] in these honky-tonk [F#] bars, where they dance the do [B]-si-do.
Change to the center with [E] the right-hand [F#] star, swing that gal from Buffalo.
[G#m] Take your partner [B] and you do-si-do.

Things aren't going [E] down as I had planned.
[F#] Honey, I can't [B] take much more.
I call these dances [E] in these honky-tonk bars.

If I can't have [E] you, then I will go.
[F#] In the state of Texas, [B] I will roam.
Down, down in Texas, you [E] can always get a [F#] job.
If you can play, then [B] can I go?
2 AM, all those outfits [E] all framed.
[F#] And the crowd [B] can't get enough.
And though I'm smiling, [E] sadly my heart's [F#] aching.
For Laura Jean, my only love.
