Sides face, grand square
*There was a boy from Arkansas who wouldn't listen to his Ma
When she told him that he should go to school
He'd sneak away in the afternoon, take a little walk, then pretty soon
You'd find him at the local auction barn
ALTERNATE LYRICS
*As time went on he did his best and all could see he didn't jest
He practiced calling his call night and day
His Pap would find him behind the barn, just a-working up that awful storm
As he tried to imitate the auctioneer
*Now from that boy who went to school, there grew a man who played it cool
He cam back home a full-fledged auctioneer
And the people came from miles around just to hear him make that rhythmic sound
That fill their hearts with such a happy cheer
FIGURE Mainstream, corner progression
Now the heads (sides) square thru 4 hands you go
Four hands around that ring you know
Meet this corner lady dosado
Touch 1/4 then you walk & dodge, do a partner trade and pass the ocean
We all swing thru and the boys trade and now the boys run
Wheel & deal, do the right & left thru and in front of you
Take this lady and promenade her home
*10 dollar bidda now 20 dollar 20, will you gimme 20,

Who'll bid me that 25 dollar bid?
