At a Cowboy Dance + 

Git yo’ little sagehens ready; + 

Trot ’em out upon the floor⁠— + 

Line up there, you critters! Steady! + 

Lively, now! One couple more. + 

Shorty, shed that ol’ sombrero; + 

Broncho, douse that cigaret; + 

Stop yer cussin’, Casimero, + 

’Fore the ladies. Now, all set: + 

S’lute yer ladies, all together; + 

Ladies opposite the same; + 

Hit the lumber with yer leather; + 

Balance all an’ swing yer dame; + 

Bunch the heifers in the middle; + 

Circle stags an’ do‑ce‑do; + 

Keep a-steppin’ to the fiddle; + 

Swing ’em ’round an’ off you go. + 

First four forward. Back to places. + 

Second foller. Shuffle back⁠— + 

Now you’ve got it down to cases⁠— + 

Swing ’em till their trotters crack. + 

Gents all right a-heel an’ toein’; + 

Swing ’em⁠—kiss ’em if yo’ kin⁠— + 

On to next an’ keep a-goin’ + 

Till yo’ hit yer pards agin. + 

Gents to center. Ladies ’round ’em; + 

Form a basket; balance all; + 

Swing yer sweets to where yo’ found ’em; + 

All p’mnade around the hall. + 

Balance to yer pards an’ trot ’em + 

’Round the circle double quick; + 

Grab an’ squeeze ’em while you’ve got ’em⁠— + 

Hold ’em to it if they kick. + 

Ladies, left hand to yer sonnies; + 

Alaman; grand right an’ left; + 

Balance all an’ swing yer honies⁠— + 

Pick ’em up an’ feel their heft. + 

All p’mnade like skeery cattle; + 

Balance all an’ swing yer sweets; + 

Shake yer spurs an’ make ’em rattle⁠— + 

Keno! Promenade to seats. + 
