Let your heart beat in a romantic time.

lyrics

Three Quarter Time

I aint much at dancin Thats why I play this guitar
Lean in lean out I can do it without lookin down

Eye to eye...toe to toe...this do si do three to the bar
yeah the dancin begins and the music it spins you

Round and round and round

All them cowboys and sailors tinkers and tailors
couldnt a been far off the dime

Oh my how they fill ya every waltzing matilda
my heart beats in three quarter time

Now livin aint what it once was
when it becomes just killin time
but hearts always let ya know
when to speed up or slow down

Hand in hand circle down
every step sayin that Im
Payin the piper hes playin it all in threes
Round and round and round

All them cowboys and sailing ships Irish girls ruby lips
couldnta a been far off the dime
Oh my how they thrill ya every waltzing matilda
my heart beats in three quarter time

Yippee ay and Yo ho ho
Sixteen Men and a bottle o' rhyme
Yippee ay and Yo ho ho
My heart beats in three quarter time

Stories Lies Mysteries Funny how things come in threes
Father Son Holy Ghost Dancin our lives mostly
Round and round and round

All them cowboys and sailors tinkers and tailors
couldn t a been far off the dime
Oh my how they thrill ya every waltzing matilda
my heart beats in three quarter time

All them cowboys and sailors Guy Clarks and James Taylors
couldn’t a been far off the dime
You dont know until ya go waltzing matilda
your heart beats in three quarter time

Yippee ay and Yo ho ho Sixteen dancers all in a line
Yippee ay and Yo ho ho My heart beats in three quarter time
My heart beats in three quarter time
