In the airport lounge he sat, with his cane and derby hat

The grandest man that I've have ever seen,

Outside the heavy rains had grounded all the planes,

So I asked him if he'd like some company

In my rhinestone studded suit, and my cowgirl high heel boots

I guess I was a sight for him to see

But he said pull up a chair, as I fumbled with my hair

A more unlikely pair you've never seen

I was Morgan David wine, he was Chablis '59

But there we sat the cowgirl and the dandy

He was ski resorts in Aspen and summers in Paree'

I was country music, Nashville, Tennessee

The cowgirl and the dandy as different as can be

But it seemed so right that rainy night in Tennessee

Then somewhere in between, his Harvey's Bristol cream

And the drinks that I kept sipping at the table

We somehow came together

For a night of stormy weather

Now there's a little bit of class in this ole cowgirl

And there's a little bit of country in the dandy

The cowgirl and the dandy as different as can be

But it seemed so right that rainy night in Tennessee

I was Morgan David wine, he was Chablis 59

But there we sat the cowgirl and the dandy

He was ski resorts in Aspen and summers in Paree'

I was country music, Nashville, Tennessee

He was ski resorts in Aspen and summers in Paree'

I was country music Nashville, Tennessee

Brenda Lee is my all time favourite singer! I was privileged enough to meet her at Southport in the mid 80s. Her voice is like pure velvet!
