Dave Loggins - Wild Millie the Mountain Girl lyrics

Millie used to help her father in the fields
And her mother in the supper kitchen
And she could cook and she could sew and
She made her own clothes
And the bows on her dancin' slippers
She was Cinderella to a four legged fellow
The prince in the pickup truck
Who'd come and take her down
The mountain every Friday night
And let her dance 'til the
Saturday sun come up

And every Friday night
You could see us at the diner
Havin' dinner 'fore the dance began
Slippin' and slidin' on a chocolate soda
'Cause that's as high as we got then
Wild Millie the mountain girl
I love that rhythm in her feet
Wild Millie, this mountain world
Is all you're ever gonna need

I took her to the carnivals and
Took her to the fairs
And took her to the altar of love
We got married, got a love and gonna share it
And we'll dance every Friday
At the auditorium
'Cause, I made her a promise
On the tin cans strung
To the back of the pickup truck
That I'd take her down the
Mountain every Friday night
And let her dance 'til the
Saturday sun come up

And every Friday night
You could see us at the diner
Havin' dinner 'fore the dance began
Slippin' and slidin' on a chocolate soda
'Cause that's as high as we got then

Wild Millie the mountain girl
I love that rhythm in her feet
Wild Millie, this mountain world
Is all you're ever gonna need

Grab your partner, do-si do
Promenade around the square
Clap your hands to the beat of the band
And kick your feet up in the air
Fiddles, banjos, take it high, take it low
Let that music play dancin' the world away
Well, the years have been blessed
Full of kids and happiness
Diapers and dance steps is about
All that's been changed
Millie's motherly gray
Sort of settled in her ways
Soft-shoeing around on a walkin' cane
And every Friday come sundown
I'd load 'em in the pickup truck
And we'd head down the mountain
'cause it's Friday night
We're gonna dance 'til the
Saturday sun come up

And every Friday night
You could see us at the diner
Havin' dinner 'fore the dance began
Sixteen kids on chocolate sodas
A shot of liquor and whoo, and I'll get 'em

Wild Millie the mountain girl
I love that rhythm in her feet
Oh, Wild Millie, this mountain world
Is all you're ever gonna need
Wild Millie, this mountain world
Is all you're ever gonna need
