G
Played a wedding for the money
C
And I wish I could have told the bride and groom
D7
Just what I think of marriage
G
What's in store after the honeymoon
I was rumbling through the verses
C
About how men and women ought to live apart
D7
How a promise never made could not be broken
G
And would never break a heart
Suddenly from out of nowhere
C
This little girl came spinning across the floor
D7
Her crinolines were billowing
G
Beneath the skirt of calico she wore
As her joy fell on the honored guests
C
Each one of them was drawn into her dream
D7
And they laughed and stamped and clapped their hands
G
And hollered at her dance little Jean
C G
They said dance little Jean this day is for you
A7 D7
Two people that you love stood up to say I do
C G C
Dance little Jean the prayer that you had was answered today
D7 G
Your Momma's marrying your dad
Well this cynic's heart just melted
C
As I figured what this get together meant
D7
And how it ended years of tears
G
And sad confusions that the little girl had spent
They told the band to pack it up
C
About the time the couple cut the cake
D7
But we stayed and we played all night long
G
For love and laughs and little Jeanie's sake
C G
We played dance little Jean this day is for you
A7 D7
Two people that you love stood up to say I do
C G C
Dance little Jean the prayer that you had was answered today
D7 G
Your Momma's marrying your dad
C G
We sang dance little Jean this day is for you
A7 D7
Two people that you love stood up to say I do
C G C
Dance little Jean the prayer that you had was answered today
D7 G
Your momma's marrying your dad
