140 Old Bays on the Farm 



S'lute your ladies all together; 

 Ladies opposite the same — 

 Hit the lumber with your leathers, 

 Balance all, an' swing your dame. 



Bunch the heifers in the middle, 

 Circle stags an' do-se-do, 

 Pay attention to the fiddle, 

 Swing her 'round an' 'way you go. 



First four forward, back to places; 

 Second follow ; shuffle back. 

 Now you've got it down to cases — 

 Swing 'em till their trotters crack. 



Gents all right, a-heel and toeing; 

 Swing 'em, kiss 'em, if you can, 

 On to next an' keep a-going, 

 Till you hit your pard again. 



Gents to centre; ladies 'round 'em. 

 Form a basket, balance all; 

 Whirl your gals to where you found 'em, 

 Promenade around the hall. 



Balance to yer pards and trot 'em 

 Round the circle double quick, 

 Grab 'em, kiss 'em while you got 'em, 

 Hold 'em to it if they kick. 



Ladies, left hand to your sonnies, 

 Alaman — grand right and left, 

 Balance all an' swing your honeys, 

 Pick 'em up and feel their heft. 



Promenade like skeery cattle; 

 Balance all and swing your sweets; 

 Shake your spurs and make 'em rattle, 

 Keno — promenade to seats.
