Dance All Night 

(words collected by Peter Budd)

From: Highwoods String Band

Dance all night with a bottle in my hand,
Bottle in my hand, with a bottle in my hand
Dance all night with a bottle in my hand,
Jes for a day? give the fiddler a dram
(Or Just for a damn)

I left that jawbone sitting on the fence
I ain’t seen nothing of the jawbone since
Walk jawbone, kitty get along
In comes Sally with the big boots on

Who’s been here since I been gone?
Pretty little girl with the red dress on
She took it off, and I put it on
In comes Sally with the big boots on

Dance all night with a bottle in my hand,
Bottle in my hand with a bottle in my hand
Dance all night with a bottle in my hand,
Jes for a day? give the fiddler a dram
(Or Just for a damn)




Dance All Night

From Skillet Lickers on Vetco LP

Dance all night with a bottle in your hand,
Bottle in your hand, with a bottle in your hand
Dance all night with a bottle in your hand,
?Jes fo day? give the fiddler a dram

Dance all night with the fiddler’s gal
Swing around the corner with the other fella’s gal
Swing that Calico Sally Ann
We don’t give a dam, we’ll catch it if we can

Dance all night with a bottle in your hand,
Bottle in your hand, with a bottle in your hand
Dance all night with a bottle in your hand,
Good God almighty give the fiddler a dram

Repeat second verse

Repeat third verse

From: Carter Brothers and Son
Good God mighty give the fiddler a dram
..no other intelligible words...that seems about right for Carter Bros
