[Intro]

[Verse]
D A7
I was dancing down in Texas as the band played the Paul Jones
A7 D
And they hollered, "Grab your partner!" She was standing there, alone
D D7 G
And I got a funny feeling, it was true love at first sight
A7 D D7
As the band played the Paul Jones that night
[Chorus]
G D
When the whistle blew, we never parted
G D
When the others formed a circle, we still danced
G D
She knew the same as I, our love had started
E7 A7
For in her eyes, there sparkled romance
D A7
That was many years ago, now, but I can't forget that night
A7 D
When I found my brown-eyed darling 'neath the Texas moon, so bright
D D7 G
Now we've got a little family and a cottage of our own
A7 D
And we met as the band played "Paul Jones"
