�That
Viaduct Glide�
Words and Music by Wm. Renick Smith
Copyright 1912 by Wm. Renick Smith
Verse:
Way down in Dallas where the breezes blow,
Oh, to that town I am just bound to go;
That is the place where they�ve the grandest dance,
Oh, you kid! It�s just a Texas prance.
Way down there on the Viaduct,
That is where you should surely try your luck,
When the moonlight�s shining clear and bright,
And you�re wooing there on a summer�s night,
To that bridge take a ride,
When you dance the Viaduct Glide.
Chorus:
When I do that Viaduct Glide,
I sure am filled with pride, (Oh yes, I am),
It beats an auto ride, (You bet it does)
And by it I love to stride. (Oh yes I do).
Oh, to that Dallas slide, (Oh you Slide),
We�ll dance tho� time betide,
With my affinity, Down by the Trinity,
Doin� the Viaduct Glide.
Verse:
I�ve been to Frisco and to gay Paree,
And down in Cuba where they glide so free;
They all have a rag or have a dance so rare,
Yet none touch Dallas with her gliding air.
Down in Texas on that bridge so wide,
I long to dance right to that lovin� glide.
Believe me, hon, it beats them all,
And for that stunt I always fall,
To the left, to the right,
Sway me, dear, with all your might.
Chorus:
When I do that Viaduct Glide, etc. |
