When I was a child down in South Caroline
Soon as Saturday sun went on down
My folks and sister would go and leave me home all alone
Going to that big square dance in town
Well my old radio would play that old opry show
So I never got lonesome or blue
I'd fall asleep in my chair and dream that I was right there
Just singing the whole night through
When my folks would come home, they'd be humming a song
Mama'd smile and say: "Child, don't you know
"There ain't a thing in this world to make you fall in love girl
"Like the San Antonio Stroll?" 
Well the day finally come when my mama said: "Hun
"It's 'bout time you came with us as well"
Well, I had me a time, yes, I danced all the night
'Til they rang that ol' cracked-midnight bell
Then the lights went down low, the fiddler picked up his bow
And he played something stately and slow
And my sister Eileen and her husband-to-be
They held hands and began to stroll
I've been away for a while, but it still brings a smile
When I think of the way that it goes
Now I'll sing it to you just so we both can do
That old San Antonio Stroll

Yes, I'll sing it to you just so we all can do
That old San Antonio Stroll
