Tekst:
(K Grimwood/E Idlet)
Well, it's up in the morning, before the sun,
That sun that'll be setting before I'm done
The furrows behind me will show where I've been
Tomorrow I'll start it all over again
Day after day, we work all our lives,
The sons and the daughters, the husbands and wives,
And time is another thing your money can't buy
So let's go out dancing when the moon lights the sky
Oh, Pretty Mary, come dance with me,
Let's leave all our troubles behind
Give me your hand and we'll follow our feet,
Sway to the rhythm, step 1-2-3
Well, there's crawfish to boil and catfish to fry
Onions to cut, and tears we must cry
And cornbread goes perfect with red beans and rice
So let's go out dancing when the moon lights the sky
Oh, Pretty Mary, come dance with me,
Let's leave all our troubles behind
Give me your hand and we'll follow our feet,
Sway to the rhythm, step 1-2-3
