Belle Of The Ball
Recorded by Red Steagall
Written by Luke Reed and Red Steagall
[3/4 time]

C                  G7          C
On a smooth cement slab by the river
                       G7
On a Saturday forth of July
F            G7           C            Am
Dancers were gathered and fiddles were tuned
       D7                    G7
With a big Texas moon in the sky

    C             G7         C
She looked like a princes in gingham
                           G7
The boys were all standing around
F            G7        C          Am
Each of them anxiously waiting to dance
         D7        G7          C
With the prettiest girl in our town

  G7                      C
I didn’t think much of my prospects
   G7                          C
To dance with the belle of the ball
     E7                 C         Am
In a magical moment she stood all alone
          D7                         G7
While the band played the Westphalia Waltz

      F          G7         C
And I knew every cowboy was watching
     F               G7           C
As I danced with the belle of the ball
      F       C         G7       C
And I fell in love on a Saturday night
         F               G7         C
When the band played the Westphalia Waltz

                G7           C
That evening is etched in my memory
                        G7
Seems it was just yesterday
F              G7         C      Am
As I drove her home in my pickup truck
    D7                   G7
She held my hand all the way

C             G7            C
Tonight as we danced by the river
                          G7
With a big Texas moon overhead
F                 G7          C          Am
We watched as our little ones nod off to sleep
     D7            G7                C
On a quilt that we brought for their bed

G7                      C
She’s just as pretty as ever
G7                           C
She’s still the belle of the ball
      E7               C    Am
And I fall in love all over again
        D7                      G7
When we dance to the Westphalia Waltz

      F          G7         C
And I know every cowboys is watching
     F              G7           C
As I dance with the belle of the ball
      F       C         G7       C
And I fall in love each Saturday night
         F              G7         C
When the band plays the Westphalia Waltz

      F          G7        C
And I know every cowboy is watching
     F              G7           C
As I dance with the belle of the ball
      F       C         G7       C
And I fall in love each Saturday night
         F              G7         C
When the band plays the Westphalia Waltz
