She Played Tambourine (HH 5249) Tom Perry
OPENER
Sides face, grand square
She played tambourine, with a silver jingle
And she must have known the words to at least a million tunes
But the one most requested by the man she knew as Cowboy
Was the Late Night Benediction At The Y'all Come Back Saloon
4 ladies promenade gonna walk on around the ring
Well gonna get on home swing the man, promenade again
But the one most requested by the man she knew as Cowboy
Was the Late Night Benediction At The Y'all Come Back Saloon
FIGURE
Head (side) 2 you promenade halfway around the ring
Come down the middle with a right & left thru and turn the girl and then
You slide thru and square thru 3/4 go
Dosado with the corner, once around you know
Hey swing thru 2 by 2 and the boys trade in the middle now
Gonna swing on the corner honey, promenade go round the ring
But the one most requested by the man she knew as Cowboy
Was the Late Night Benediction At The Y'all Come Back Saloon
MIDDLE BREAK
Sides face, grand square
In a voice soft and trembling, she'd sing her song to cowboy
As a smoky halo circled round her raven hair
And all the fallen angels and the pinball playing rounders
stopped the games that they've been playing for the losers evening prayer
4 ladies promenade gonna walk on around the ring
Well gonna get on home swing the man, promenade again
But the one most requested by the man she knew as Cowboy
Was the Late Night Benediction At The Y'all Come Back Saloon
ENDING
Sides face, grand square
Every night in the shadows thinking back on Amarillo
He'd dream of better days and ask for faded love
Lifting high his glass in honor of the lady and her song
He paid his check then lonely walked the broken cowboy home
4 ladies promenade gonna walk on around the ring
Well gonna get on home swing the man, promenade again
But the one most requested by the man she knew as Cowboy
Was the Late Night Benediction At The Y'all Come Back Saloon
