A B
When I was a child down in South Caroline
D E A E
Soon's the Saturday sun went on down
A B
My folks and sister would go and leave me home all alone
D E A
Going to that big square dance in town
F#m C#m
Well my old radio would play that old opry show
Bm E A
So I never got lonesome or blue
F#m C#m
I'd fall asleep in my chair and dream that I was right there
Bm B E
Just singing the whole night through
A
When my folks would come home
B
They'd be humming a song
D E F#m
Mama'd smile and say, "Child, don't you know,
D
there ain't a thing in this world to make you
A F#m B E A E
fall in love girl, like the San Antonio Stroll"
Same as intro, except twice--- A, B, D, E, A, E
A B
Well the day finally come when my mama said, hun
D E A E
It's 'bout time you came with us as well
A B
Well I had me a time, yes I danced all the night
D E A
Til they rang that ol' crack-midnight bell
F#m
Then the lights went down low
C#m
The fiddler picked up his bow
Bm E A
And he played something steady and slow
F#m C#m
And my sister Irene and her husband to be
Bm B E
They held hands and began to stroll
A E
I've been away for a while, but it still brings a smile
D E F#m
When I think of the way that it goes
D A F#m
Now I'll sing it to you just so we both can do
B E A E
That old San Antonio Stroll
(instrumental--exactly like intro, except twice. Also, for the

Yes I'll sing it to you just so we all can do

That old San Antonio Stroll
