Baile de Rancho

Ranch Dance
When I arrive at a ranch dance
And the accordion starts to play
I'm looking at the bedroom door
Where the girls usually come out
I'm looking at the bedroom door
Where the girls usually come out
I see ribbons and long braids
Scented with basil
I see ribbons and long braids
Scented with basil
Hair gel and the smell of cologne
That the old peddler sold in the countryside
Hair gel and the smell of cologne
That the old peddler sold in the countryside
The accordion player lifts the accordion
It stretches, shrinks, and bends
The accordion player lifts the accordion
It stretches, shrinks, and bends
In the ranch dance card game
I always end up with the ugliest one in the room
In the ranch dance card game
I always end up with the ugliest one in the room
I dust off the sole of my boot
To the rhythm of this vanerão
I dust off the sole of my boot
To the rhythm of this vanerão
And in the smoke-filled air we go
It feels like we're sinking into the ground
And in the smoke-filled air we go
It feels like we're sinking into the ground
