OPENER

Walk around your corner, come home a do paso now
Partner left, corner lady by the right hand round you go
Then partner left, make an allemande thar, you back on down the line
Slip the clutch, and allemande left and you weave in time
Well I won't go huntin' with you, Jake
But I'll go chasing women
Swing and whirl the pretty little girl and you promenade start grinnin'
Well the moon is right and I'm half tight
My life is just beginnin'
Well, I won't go huntin' with you, Jake
But I'll go chasing women

FIGURE

Head two couples square thru and get four hands around
To the corner dosado do it once around that ring now
Make a wave, swing thru, and then the boys run right
As couples circulate and you ferris wheel
Double pass thru, leads do a partner trade
Swing and whirl the pretty little girl and you promenade that ring now
Well the moon is right and I'm half tight
My life is just beginnin'
Well, I won't go huntin' with you, Jake
But I'll go chasing women

MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER

Now the four little ladies promenade go one time around
You're gonna get along home, swing there with your pal
Join hands make your ring and go circle left go round
Do an allemande left with the corner and weave around the town
Well I won't go huntin' with you, Jake
But I'll go chasing women
Swing and whirl the pretty little girl and you promenade start grinnin'
Well the moon is right and I'm half tight
My life is just beginnin'
I won't go huntin' with you, Jake
But I'll go chasing women

TAG

Well, I won't go huntin' with you, Jake
But I'll go chasing women

I Won't Go Huntin' With You, Jake (But I'll Go Chasin' Women)

Lyrics ID: 998

Oh, it's springtime in the mountains and I'm full of mountain dew
Can't even read my catalog like I used to do
I'm a-settin' in that little shed that's right back of the house
Here's comes old Jake with all the hounds; but he's gonna hear me shout:

CHORUS:
Oh, I won't go huntin' with you, Jake, but I'll go chasin' women
So put them hounds back in the pens and quit your silly grinnin'
Well, the moon is bright, and I'm half tight; my life is just beginnin'
I won't go huntin' with you, Jake, but I'll go chasin' women.

Let's go down to the meetin' house and wait till they start home
Them gals that live on Possum Creek we'll always leave alone
We'll run them down the corn rows, them sassy little misses
We'll scare them pretty gals to death; we'll stop and throw 'em kisses.

CHORUS:

Now, go wash your face and comb your hair, 'cause it's durn near time to start
But let me tell you 'fore you go, there's one that's got my heart
Don't chase that gal with the yaller hair and wears a dress of green
For that little gal belongs to me, I know she's past sixteen.

CHORUS:

Now I was headed for the general store, when a silly thing I seen
They make 'em in the city; called a magazine
I turned to page thirty-two, and look at what I found
Them gals wear clothes that we ain't seen beneath them gingham gowns.

CHORUS:
