I played a wedding for the money,
And I wished that I could tell the bride and groom
Just what I thought of marriage
And what's in store after their honeymoon.
And I was grumblin' to the dancers
'bout how men and women ought to live apart
And how a promise never made can not be broken
And can never break your heart
When suddenly from out of nowhere,
A little girl came dancing 'cross the floor,
And all her crinolines were billowing
Beneath the skirt of calico that she wore.
Oh what a joy fell on the honored guests
As each of them was drawn inside her dream,
And they laughed and clapped and stomped their feet
And hollered at her "dance little jean"
Dance, little jean, this day is for you,
Two people you love, stood up and said "i do"
Dance little jean, the prayer that you had
Was answered today
Your mama's marrying your dad
Well, my cynical heart just melted
'cause I knew what this get together meant
How it ended year of tears and sad confusion
That the little girl had spent.
Well they told the band to pack it up
About the time the couple cut the cake,
But we played as long as they stayed
For love and laughs and little jeanie's sake.
Dance, little jean, this day is for you,
Two people you love, stood up and said "i do"
Dance little jean, the prayer that you had
Was answered today
Your mama's marrying your dad
The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band is an American musical group formed in Long Beach, California in 1966. Considered pioneers of country rock, they have blended folk and bluegrass influences with more modern sounds, creating a unique and recognizable sound. Among the founding members are Jeff Hanna (vocals, guitar), Jimmie Fadden (drums) and John McEuen (mandolin, banjo). Over the years, the lineup has seen the alternation of several musicians, but Hanna and Fadden have remained constant since the band's inception. Among their most important albums is "Will the Circle Be Unbroken" (1972), a work that marked a turning point in the band's career and helped to spread the country rock sound worldwide. Other representative songs include "Fishin' in the Dark", "Long Hard Road", and "Mr. Bojangles". The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band continues to be active, releasing new albums and touring.
