VERSE
She’s the polka girl from Tennessee, she moves her hips to a different beat
When she’s dancin’ all the world is free, she’s the polka girl from Tennessee.
So I bought her a drink with extra sauce, I said girl let’s dance till the world just stops
I did my jig and the Texas waltz, she said man you can’t dance, but it’s not your fault.
See I’m a polka girl from Tennessee, well i move my hips to a different beat,
When I’m dancin’ all my world is free, cuz I’m a polka girl from Tennessee.
CHORUS
We’ll dance around that old oak floor, show me what you’re dancin’ for.
Spin around so I can see, the polka girl from Tennessee.
VERSE
I said hold on now, give me half a chance,
Well I buy a book and I learned that dance.
And I’d walked the coals to that awful beat
If you’d just take my hand and rescue me.
CHORUS
Dance around that old oak floor, show me what you’re dancin’ for.
Spin around so I can see, the polka girl from Tennessee.
yeaee-yeah,
VERSE
So I learned that dance, and I sang that song.
And I sang oompah, oompah all day long.
Well, it was much too sweet and too much fun,
And that’s not me, no I’m the lonely one
BRIDGE
She’s the polka girl from Tennessee
She’s the polka girl from Tennessee
And a polka dancer I’ll never be
Like the polka girl from Tennessee
CHORUS
Dance around that old oak floor, show me what we’re dancin’ for.
Spin around so young and free, like the polka girl from Tennessee.
Yeeeah

It's a great Americana mood album. I played a show and camped with this duo at Kerrville Folk Festival and they are also great people with a powerful live presence. ezra vancil
Ran into this on the ISC awards.. great feeling to the sonics of this recording. The sonics of it are what I come back to listen to.. it doesn't hurt that the songs are also fantastic trips. ezra vancil
