The Girl With The Golden Braids Lyrics - Perry Como

( I'm in love with the girl with the golden, 

can't live without the girl with the golden . . . braids! ) 

I saw a gal with golden hair 

dancin' as I played 

never saw a gal so fair 

as the girl with the golden braids! 

I was travellin' with a band, 

came to town and stayed 

knew I'd have to seek the hand 

of the girl with the golden braids! 

Oh! . . . Dance girl, dance an' sway, 

dance an' steal my heart away, 

so many fellas stand in line 

but I knew you'd be mine! 

Yes, you'd be mine! 

Knew I had to take a chance, 

so I made a trade 

gave my fiddle for a dance 

with the girl with the golden braids 

Now I'm thru forever more, 

roamin' never paid 

found that life that I adore 

with the girl with the golden braids! 

Oh! . . . Dance girl, dance an' sway, 

dance an' steal my heart away, 

so many fellas stand in line 

but I knew you'd be mine! 

Oh! . . . you'd be mine! 

Dance girl, dance an' sway, 

dance an' steal my heart away, 

so many fellas stand in line 

but I knew you'd be mine! 

You'd be mine! 

Now the boys are talkin' of 

my last serenade 

lucky me, I'm so in love 

with the girl with the golden braids! 

Ever since that night in June, 

life's a rosy shade, 

dancin' on my honeymoon 

with the gal with the golden braids! 

Oh! . . . Dance girl, dance an' sway, 

dance an' steal my heart away, 

so many fellas stand in line 

but I knew you'd be mine! 

Dance girl, dance an' sway, 

dance an' steal my heart away, 

so many fellas stand in line 

but I knew you'd be mine! 

Yes . . . I knew you'd be mine!
