Gitty Up

I'm trying' to write a country song 
Hope Ya'll try sing along 
Get those feet a dancing' 
across the old oak floor 

Yellow ribbons 'round the tree 
Darlin' won't you dance with me 
I'll Gitty-Up on my horse 
Just to do two-step a dance with you 

Gentleman...drinking' beer 
Lovely ladies, over there 
The moon shining bright 
'Neath the starry skies 

Blue jeans and baggy pants 
Love to watch those lady's dance 
'Neath the moon... 
And 'neath those starry skies 

Eyes of blue and eyes of green 
Sweetheart... meet you between 
The mistletoe... 
That hangs below the door 

We can do a little kissin' 
I don't care if we've been missin' 
That country song... 
that we both danced to... before 

Darlin' as long as I'm with you 
My nights will not be long and blue 
As long as I can hold your hand 
We'll dance the night away 

You know I'd walk a hundred miles 
Just to see, one of your smiles 
Lord, J.C., I'll Gitty-Up...
I'll Gitty up for evermore 

Yellow ribbons 'round the tree 
Darlin' won't you dance with me 
I'll Gitty-Up on my horse 
Just to do two-step a dance with you 

Gentleman...drinking' beer 
Lovely ladies, over there 
The moon, shining bright 
'Neath the starry skies 

Blue jeans and baggy pants 
Love to watch those lady's dance 
'Neath the moon... 
And 'neath those starry skies 

Eyes of blue and eyes of green 
Sweetheart... meet you between 
The mistletoe... 
That hangs below the door 

We can do a little kissin' 
I don't care if we've been missin' 
That country song... 
that we both danced to... before 

Darlin' as long as I'm with you 
My nights will not be long and blue 
As long as I can hold your hand 
We'll dance the night away 

You know I'd walk a hundred miles 
Just to see, one of her smiles 
Lord, J.C., I'll Gitty-up... 
I'll gitty my night away

I'll gitty up, I'll gitty up...
I'll gitty up, I'll gitty up... 
I'll gitty up.... 
My days for evermore
