Answer 1

"Dance little Jean" by Nitty Gritty Dirt Band

I played a wedding for the money
And I wish I could 'a told the bride and Groom
Just what I think of marriage
and what's in store after their honeymoon

And I was grumbling to the dancers
About how men and women 'aught to live apart
And how a promise never made cannot be broken
and can never break a heart

Then suddenly from out of nowhere
A little girl came dancing across the floor
And all her crinnalins were billowing
Beneath the skirt of calico that she wore

Oh, what a joy fell on the honored guests
As each one of them was drawn into her dream
And they laughed and stamped and clapped their hands
And hollered at her dance little Jean

And they said dance little Jean this day is for you
Two people you love stood up to say I Do
Dance little Jean, a prayer that you had
Was answered today, your mama's marrying your dad

Well, my cynical heart just melted, cause I figured what this get-together meant
How it ended years of tears and sad confusion that the little girl had spent

And they told the band to pack it up
About the time the couple cut the cake
But we stayed as long as they stayed
For love laughs and little Jeanie's sake

And we played dance little Jean this day is for you
Two people you love stood up to say I Do
Dance little Jean, a prayer that you had
Was answered today your mama's marrying your dad
It was answered today your Mamas marrying your Dad

Answer 2

The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band did the song quite a few
years ago. "Dance Little Jean."
I'll have the lyrics for you in another minute or two.

Here are the lyrics...


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 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 sudenly from out of nowhere
A little girl came dancing 'cross the floor
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

Answer 3

Ok I found 2 versions of it but in a way I hope this answers your question...

This song was called "Dance Little Jean" from 1983. There are two versions that I know of, one by The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, the other by John Denver.

I was grumbling to the dancers
'Bout how men and women ought to live apart
How a promise never made could not be broken
And would never break a heart

Suddenly from out of nowhere
This little girl came spinning across the floor
Her crinolines were billowing
Beneath the skirt of calico she wore

As her joy fell on the honored guests
Each one of them was drawn into her dream
And they laughed and stamped and clapped their hands
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

'Cause I knew what this get together meant
How it ended year of tears and sad confusion

Answer 6

Could you be thinking of...

I'm My Own Grandpaw?

Oh, many, many years ago
When I was twenty-three
I was married to a widow
Who was pretty as can be
This widow had a grown-up daughter
Who had hair of red
My father fell in love with her
And soon the two were wed

This made my dad my son-in-law
And changed my very life
For my daughter was my mother
'Cause she was my father's wife
To complicate the matter
Though it really brought me joy
I soon became the father
Of a bouncing baby boy

This little baby then became
A brother-in-law to Dad
And so became my uncle
Though it made me very sad
For if he was my uncle
Then that also made him brother
Of the widow's grown-up daughter
WHo of course is my step-mother

Chorus
I'm my own grandpa
I'm my own grandpa
It sounds funny I know
But it really is so
Oh, I'm my own grandpa

My father's wife then had a son
Who kept them on the run
And he became my grandchild
For he was my daughter's son
My wife is now my mother's mother
And it makes me blue
Because although she is my wife
She's my grandmother too

Now if my wife is my grandmother
Then I'm her grandchild
And every time I think of it
It nearly drives me wild
For now I have become
The strangest case you ever saw
As husband of my grandma
I am my own grandpa

Answer 8

Ok, so my favorite artists are Blake Shelton. Jason Aldean, Rascal Flatts and recently Eric Church. I agree with you!! Every other question on her and every other song on the radio is TAYLOR SWIFT! I used to like her, a lot, but now, I can't stand it! She's too pop for me.
