Away In the Dance Hall

Away in the dance hall
no partner in tow.
I had it in my mind
to put on a show.

But with my two left feet
trouble lay in store.
Attempting the tango
I cleared half the floor.

Most of the ladies there
just gave me a glance.
When asking for a waltz
they cried not a chance.

Until a young lady
at last caught my eye.
I asked

Away In a Dance Hall

Away in a dance hall
No dance for me yet
Then I saw you sat there
And broke out in sweat.

I walked up and asked you
Would you care to dance 
Your face was a picture
You said not a chance.

My dream had departed 
I felt such a fool
But my momma told me
Go fish in the pool.

Never make the first

Dance Hall Girl Gussied Up

She was all decked out in petticoats plus.
Tried to get on the stage with us.
But we pushed her out onto her rear.
No fancy women allowed in here.

Our men laughed at our evil action.
But we did not care. Gave us satisfaction.
The good book helps us be mean to these kind.
What would Jesus do? Let’s never mind.

Twilight Settled Around the Texas Spoon

I've got a tiger by the tail
Its plain to see came a Buck Owens wail
From the jukebox hidden near the bar
In a West Texas dance hall far
Away on a farm-to-market road
Near a cotton bale load

Hammer man tuned the piano, sunlight gave way to moon
Barmaid dried the glasses, as twilight settled around the Texas Spoon

Knotted In the Dance

 Knotted in the Dance

Our eyes in a silent promise locked, 
the way only stranger's can.
Perhaps foretelling of lover's, unfrocked,
langoured and breathless ran. 

You, I think, blushed in surprise,
though I really don't remember.
For I, like a thief rushed window pried,
saw only endless splendor.

Your face laying against my chest explored,
and traced the furrow'd line.
Though indifferent to

Dance Hall Days

My “Dance Hall Days”, now decades past
Were full of fun and Disco glory
A song or two bring memories cast
Yet only skim the perfect story

The whimsy of youth directed the course
The quest for love was its driver
A powerful need, an unstoppable force
And through it all, a survivor

Yet woven through those days imbued
With flashbacks of dance floors

Election Dance Hall

after it was over
we were party clover
got to the beat
it was danceing feet
to win  we met many friends
we had a ball
it was

The Dance Hall Girl

I'm standing here in limbo as 

I see him wander in.

That no townsman has warned him

is truly a mortal sin.

 

He slides up to the bar and 

takes a curious look around.

He orders a shot of whiskey.

No one else has made a sound.



The barman just ignores him 

as he has the others here,

and keeps on
