Pretty Weather
Dancing Under the Pretty Weather Sky: A Country Celebration
Lyrics
We got hogs in the pen and cotton in the gin and my buckboard is doin' alright
We have livestock in the pen, cotton in the gin, and my buckboard is in good condition.
We're doin' real good like country folks should so we're gonna have a dance tonight
We, as country folks, are doing well, and we plan to have a dance tonight.
Now if the sun's up in the Cheyenne we'll live a long day
If the sun is up in the Cheyenne, we anticipate a long day.
So we'll get all the folks together
We will gather all the people together.
There's nothin' like a dance on a Saturday night
There's nothing like a dance on a Saturday night.
When everybody's havin' pretty weather
Everyone is enjoying pleasant weather.
A pretty weather pretty weather ah bring along the old banjo
Pleasant weather is symbolized by playing the old banjo.
A pretty weather a pretty weather the sunshine's dryin' up the road
The sunshine is drying up the road, contributing to the good weather.
We been snowed in all winter long couldn't tickle no more with a feather
We've been snowed in all winter, but now we can enjoy the good weather.
There's a big bright sun and a pretty yellow moon
The presence of a big bright sun and a pretty yellow moon adds to the positive atmosphere.
And everybody's havin' pretty weather
Everyone is experiencing good weather.

I had my eyes on a girl with the golden curls but I ain't seen her all winter long
The singer had his eyes on a girl with golden curls but hasn't seen her all winter.
It's been too cool for a horse or a mule and the road's about ten miles long
The weather has been too cool for transportation, and the road is long.
But the sun shines here and I'm alive again and I'll meet her at the dance tonight
The sun is shining, and the singer is alive again, looking forward to meeting the girl at the dance.
I'm as wide awake as ol' Street's owl and the moon is a pretty and bright
The singer is wide awake, and the moon is described as pretty and bright.
A pretty weather...
Reiteration of enjoying pretty weather with the banjo.
A pretty weather...
Reiteration of the positive impact of good weather.
