The Girl Who Out-two-stepped Me by Tony Gibbs

I walked into the bar thinkin’ I was hot stuff,
Boots shined up and my swagger enough.
Told the boys, “Stand back, I’m gonna take the lead,”
But then she spun past me at lightning speed.
She hit that floor like she owned the wood,
Turned every cowboy head where she stood.
I stepped forward, tried to keep the beat —
But she had fire underneath her feet.

She’s the girl who out-two-stepped me,
Left me standin’ like a beginner, see?
I thought I had rhythm but apparently
She’s dancin’ on another frequency.
Yeah, the girl who out-two-stepped me
Made my pride drop to my knees.
Now I’m learnin’ fast as a man can be —
Chasin’ the girl who out-two-stepped me.

I tried a little spin, nearly lost my hat,
She laughed so sweetly I was fine with that.
She said, “Boy, relax, just follow along,”
And suddenly I wasn’t doin’ it wrong.
She guided my hands, said, “Move like so…”
And darn if my feet didn’t start to go.
By the end of the night I had caught her style,
And she rewarded me with a kiss and a smile.

She’s the girl who out-two-stepped me,
Left me standin’ like a beginner, see?
I thought I had rhythm but apparently
She’s dancin’ on another frequency.
Yeah, the girl who out-two-stepped me
Made my pride drop to my knees.
Now I’m learnin’ fast as a man can be —
Chasin’ the girl who out-two-stepped me.

If she keeps teachin’, I might just be
Half the dancer she seems to see!

She’s the girl who out-two-stepped me…
And Lord, I hope she never sets me free.
I thought I had rhythm but apparently
She’s dancin’ on another frequency.
Yeah, the girl who out-two-stepped me
Made my pride drop to my knees.
Now I’m learnin’ fast as a man can be —
Chasin’ the girl who out-two-stepped me

The Girl Who Out-two-stepped Me (Two-step)

RED-HAIRED MARY (LYRICS)

While going to the fair of Dingle,
One fine morning last July;
While going up the road before me,
A red haired girl and I chanced to spy.
I went up to her, says I "Young lady,
My donkey he will carry two;
Well, seeing as how you have a donkey,
To the Dingle fair I'll ride with you."
Now, when we reached the town of Dingle,
I took her hand to say goodbye;
When a tinker man stood up beside me,
And he belted me in my left eye.

Chorus:
Keep your hands off red-haired Mary,
Her and I will soon be wed;
We'll see the priest this very morning,
And tonight we'll lie in a married bed.

Now, I was feeling kind of peevish,
And my poor eye was sad and sore;
So I tapped him gently with me hobnail,
And he fell back through Murphy's door.
A policeman came around the corner,
And he told me I had broke the law;
Then, the donkey kicked him in the kneecap,
And he fell down and broke his jaw.
Then he went off to find his brother,
The biggest man you ever did meet;
And he gently tapped me with his knuckles,
And I was minus two front teeth.

Chorus:
Keep your hands off red-haired Mary,
Her and I will soon be wed.
We'll see the priest this very morning;
And tonight we'll lie in a married bed.

The red haired girl, she kept on smiling,
"I'll go with you young man" she said;
"We'll forget the priest this very morning,
And tonight we'll lie in Murphy's shed."
Now, through the town we rode together,
My black eye and her red hair;
Smiling gaily at the tinkers,
And me God, we were a handsome pair.

Chorus:
Take your hands off red-haired Mary,
Her and I will soon be wed;
We'll forget the priest this very morning,
And tonight we'll lie in Murphy's shed.
