A                          B
When I was a child down in South Caroline
           D        E           A   E
Soon's the Saturday sun went on down
             A                            B
My folks and sister would go and leave me home all alone
      D           E               A
Going to that big square dance in town
        F#m                       C#m
Well my old radio would play that old opry show
     Bm        E           A
So I never got lonesome or blue
           F#m                            C#m
I'd fall asleep in my chair and dream that I was right there
     Bm          B            E
Just singing the whole night through
        A                    
When my folks would come home
          B
They'd be humming a song
       D                E               F#m
Mama'd smile and say, "Child, don't you know,
              D                  
there ain't a thing in this world to make you
A            F#m            B     E     A     E
fall in love girl, like the San Antonio Stroll"

Same as intro, except twice--- A, B, D, E, A, E

         A                        B
Well the day finally come when my mama said, hun
           D             E          A    E
It's 'bout time you came with us as well
       A                     B
Well I had me a time, yes I danced all the night
         D             E              A
Til they rang that ol' crack-midnight bell
         F#m                
Then the lights went down low
            C#m
The fiddler picked up his bow
       Bm               E          A
And he played something steady and slow
       F#m                  C#m
And my sister Irene and her husband to be
          Bm          B       E
They held hands and began to stroll
           A                       E
I've been away for a while, but it still brings a smile
       D            E           F#m
When I think of the way that it goes
         D                         A        F#m
Now I'll sing it to you just so we both can do
         B     E     A     E
That old San Antonio Stroll

(instrumental--exactly like intro, except twice.  Also, for the
mandolin, instead of ending on the note A, end on F#)
(chords for instrumental are:  A, B, D, E, A, E, A, B, D, E, F#m)

         D                         A       F#m
Yes I'll sing it to you just so we all can do
         B     E     A
That old San Antonio Stroll
