I never thought much/of that fancy dancin,
With my two left feet and my rovin eye.
But when the band plays so well/in that 3/4 time,
I could dance with my darlin/until mornin' comes.
Play me a fiddle tune, sing me a song.
anish misfortune, my time is not long.
Midnight on the water/so steady and slow.
Stay up til the mornin/one more for the road.
Midnight on the water/so steady and slow.
let's have another drink and set em up Joe.
Chorus
Well, I've done all my dancin/ down in those barrooms.
Dancin and drinkin go hand in glove.
So Give a beer to the fiddler, play all the old tunes
So I can dance closer to the one that I love.
Chorus
Midnight on the water so steady and slow.
Lets have another drink and set em up Joe.
Hope this is it.
