Lyrics

DAYS ARE GROWING SHORT AND THE NIGHTS ARE LONG,
AND THE CROPS ARE ALMOST IN
SUMMER IS OVER AND FALL IS HERE
AND HARVEST IS NEAR AT AN END

SO WE'LL HARNESS UP THE HORSE AND CART
HEAD RIGHT INTO TOWN
JOIN THE DANCERS IN THEIR BEST
AS THEY DO-SEE-DO AROUND

DANCE ALL NIGHT TO THE CHEROKEE FIDDLE
WITH THE BANJO RINGING CLEAR
DO-SEE-DO TO THE FIDDLE AND THE BOW
FORGET THAT WINTER'S NEAR
FORGET THAT WINTER'S NEAR
CHEROKEE SHUFFLE IS MY FAVORITE TUNE
AS WE TWO-STEP ROUND THE FLOOR
WE'LL DANCE ALL NIGHT, TIL THE BROAD DAYLIGHT
AND BEG FOR JUST ONE MORE, BEG FOR JUST ONE MORE

THERE'S NO TIME FOR DANCING ROUND
AND HOLDING EACH OTHER NEAR
WHEN YOU WORK FROM SUN TO SUN AND HARVEST TIME IS HERE,
BUT THE AUTUMN WIND IS BLOWING IN
CRISP AND CLEAR
IT'S THE CHANGING OF THE YEAR
THE BARN IS FULL AND THE WOOD IS CUT AND DANCING TIME IS HERE
