Lyrics
[Verse 1]
All join hands and circle South
A little bit of moonshine in your mouth
Hold your hoe and resashay
And come on back the other way
[Verse 2]
First couple out to the couple on the right
Circle up four for half the night
[Verse 3]
Duck for the oyster, duck, duck, duck
Dig for the clam, dig, dig, dig
Knock a hole in the old tin can
[Verse 4]
Circle up two and buckle up four
Away you go around that floor
[Verse 5]
Duck for the oyster, duck, duck, duck
Dig for the clam, dig, dig, dig
Knock a hole in the old tin can
[Verse 6]
Circle up two and buckle up four
Away you go around that floor
[Verse 7]
Duck for the oyster, duck, duck, duck
Dig for the clam, dig, dig, dig
Knock a hole in the old tin can
[Verse 8]
And everybody swing
Swing her high, swing her low
Swing that gal in calico
Promenade around you go, promenade
Woo
[Verse 9]
Next couple out to the couple on the right
Circle up four for half the night
[Verse 10]
Duck for the oyster, duck, duck, duck
Dig for the clam, dig, dig, dig
Knock a hole in the old tin can
[Verse 11]
Circle up two, buckle up four
Away you go around that floor
[Verse 12]
Duck for the oyster, duck, duck, duck
Dig for the clam, dig, dig, dig
Knock a hole in the old tin can
[Verse 13]
Circle up two, buckle up four
Away you go around that floor
[Verse 14]
Duck for the oyster, duck, duck, duck
Dig for the clam, dig, dig, dig
Knock a hole in the old tin can
[Verse 15]
And everybody swing
Swing her high, swing her low
Swing that gal in calico
Promenade around you go, promenade
Hoe
[Verse 16]
Fourth couple out to the couple on the right
Circle up four for half the night
[Verse 17]
Duck for the oyster, duck, duck, duck
Dig for the clam, dig, dig, dig
Knock a hole in the old tin can
[Verse 18]
Circle up two, buckle up four
Away you go around that floor
[Verse 19]
Duck for the oyster, duck, duck, duck
Dig for the clam, dig, dig, dig
Knock a hole in the old tin can
[Verse 20]
Circle up two, buckle up four
Away you go around that floor
[Verse 21]
Duck for the oyster, duck, duck, duck
Dig for the clam, dig, dig, dig
Knock that hole in the old tin can
Mmm, yeah
[Verse 22]
Allemande left, but you go around
With a big foot up and a little foot down
Like an Indian walkin' on the frozen ground
[Verse 23]
Hey, sift your meal, mix your dough
Save your heel, tap your toe
Take your honey and walk her slow
[Verse 24]
Promenade, you know where
And I don't care
Take that baby in your arms to a nice soft chair
[Verse 25]
(Duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck)
Thank you, partners
