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 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...

Premium Member 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 A Post...

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...

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...
