A folky country rockabilly barndance number!
folk country barndance squaredance
Artist picture
Singer-songwriter, arranger and producer: acoustic contemporary folk but ranging into rock/blues/country/jazz/humour...all very eclectic, I'm afraid!
Martin Stirrup Singer/songwriter An old folkie who got back into it... These days I sing and play guitar(s) and other stringed instruments, then score and orchestrate where appropriate. My taste becomes increasingly eclectic ranging from finger-picked folk through country to soft rock mixed in with a few more alternative and eccentric numbers, including the odd novelty foxtrot...

Lyrics
See a Pin a rockabilly square dance! EF#m B7EB7 EF#m B7F#m AE I saw you there by the dance hall wall I shouldve made a different call But the world around me came to a grinding halt I shouldve moved but I was much too shy You danced off with a different guy And all my best intentions came to naught We passed again at the evenings close I felt a rush and my spirits rose My thumping heart was swelling up with hope I should have talked but my voice got stuck That other guy got all the luck And Im left there standing hopeless like a dope AEABAEAA Ab A Bb BB7 See a pin and pick it up All the day youll have good luck See a pin and let it lie All that luck will pass you by Take your chances as they fall All your life youll have a ball Hold back for that perfect play All your chances slip away So have I really lost all chance Of a flirtatious smile or a furtive glance My one shot and I missed it by a mile Is it over now for me Or will I get a little serendipity Im due for a little luck once in a while Break: F#mG#mA G#m F#m G#mA BBBbABB Im hoping that Ill get another try When all my luck wont pass me by Ill put my indecision in the past Though Im sure in my boots Ill be quaking This time therell be no hesitating My future joy is right there in my grasp
