Village Dance

On Sunday nights
The village band plays
Traditional folk music
In their old-fashioned ways
And farmer folks all gather
In the village square
In an atmosphere
Of a country fair
Where the guys meet their gals
And the boys meet their pals
In their Sunday best
To celebrate all evening
The end of their day of rest,
For next morn, early at dawn,
They'll be back plowing the farm.
