Hoe Down

When our Grandmas and our Grandpas

Where just girls and boys

The seemed to have a lot more fun than we

Their party clothes were calicos

And homemade courturoys

And the big event was called a husking bee

A banjo and a fiddle

And a big old fashioned barn

Was all the preparation that they made

And if they tell you otherwise

Dismiss it as a yarn

Refreshments were confined to lemonade

Now you may say it corny

And I guess I must agree

But it was good enough for Grandma

It was good enough for Grandpa

And it good enough for me

Hoe down The country gone Hoe Down

It puttin it toe down and kickin it heels

Hoe Down It really a rare dance

A pioneer square dance

But with a new deal

One two swing your partner lightly

While you hold her ever so tightly

And bring your best beau down

Wee havin a show down and gotta make hast

＇cause hoe down on it way

Stand in line and do the Turkey

Like a Yankee Doodle Dandy

When you turkey do it jerky

That the trick now your hoein on down

Sashay sashay sashay around

While your hoein on down

Form a circle in the middle

Everybody Allemande

Boys keep tempo with the fiddle

And your gal in the calico gown

Whoa ho whoa ho

Whoa ho around in your calico gown

Do-si-do around it very romantic

Do-si-do

Do-si-do some more and maybe shel fall

Now it time to do your honors

Then when youe done your honors promenade the hall
