Dance · letra

My name is Mary and I'm from Greenville, Mississippi But this is where I live here in this old folks' dormitory Every Sunday night Sarah comes to see us And she plays that old upright But Sarah always seems to leave us
When she plays something comes over me Goes from my head all the way to my feet
And I wanna dance I wanna snap my fingers all night long and dance I wanna move around the room just like a woman in a trance All night, I wanna dance I wanna wrap my arms around your neck and dance I wanna listen to the music that's been ringing in my ears And one day I�m gonna dance my way right outta here
I had three girls and a boy but now one's gone up to Heaven She's with her papa now 'cause he left for lack of penicillin The older that I get I figure everyone is dying They're all dying for a change I know I'm dying for some action
But days like these Sunday seems so far away So until then I'm gonna sit right here and here I�ll stay
I wanna dance I wanna snap my fingers all night long and dance I wanna move around the room just like a woman in a trance All night, I wanna dance I wanna wrap my arms around your neck and dance I wanna listen to the music that's been ringing in my ears And one day I'm gonna dance my way right outta here
I'd marry you, if you could dance, that's what I said 'Cause where I'm going there'll be dancing everyday
