When our Grandmas and our Grandpas where just girls and boys The seemed to have a lot more fun than weTheir party clothes were calicos and homemade courturoysAnd the big event was called a husking beeA banjo and a fiddle and a big old fashioned barnWas all the preparation that they madeAnd if they tell you otherwise, dismiss it as a yarnRefreshments were confined to lemonadeNow you may say it' corny. And I guess I must agreeBut it was good enough for Grandma, it was good enough for GrandpaAnd it' good enough for meHoe down! The country' gone Hoe DownIt' puttin it'' toe down and kickin it' heelsHoe Down. It' really a rare dance. A pioneer square danceBut with a new dealOne, two, swing your partner lightly. While you hold her ever so tightlyAnd bring your best beau downWe havin a show down and gotta make hast'cause hoe down' on it' wayStand in line and do the Turkey, like a Yankee Doodle Dandy When you turkey do it jerky, that' the trick, now your hoein on downSashay, sashay, sashay around while your hoein on downForm a circle in the middle, everybody AllemandeBoys keep tempo with the fiddle and your gal in the calico gownWhoa ho, whoa ho, whoa ho around in your calico gownSongtexteDo-si-do around, it very romanticDo-si-do Do-si-do some more and maybe she'll fallNow it time to do your honorsThen when your done your honors, promenade the hall!
