Circle left
Early in the evenin' 'long about supper time
Over by the courthouse they're starting to unwind
Left allemande the corner, come home a dosado
Men star by the left and roll it once around you go
Turn the partner by the right hand round, and you go left allemande
Come on back and swing your girl, promenade the land
Down on the corner, out in the street
Willy and the poor boys are playing
Bring a nickel, tap your feet

Heads you promenade about 3/4 round the ring
Side two couples right & left thru, turn the girl I sing
You pass thru and swing thru and then the boys run right
You bend the line, move up to the middle and back, touch 1/4
Column circulate, boys run right to the corner, swing
Swing and whirl that pretty little girl and promenade the ring
Down on the corner, out in the street
Willy and the poor boys are playing
Bring a nickel, tap your feet

Circle left
Rooster hits the washboard and the people start to smile
Blinky pumps a good bass and he solos for awhile
Left allemande the corner, come home a dosado
Men star by the left and roll it once around you go
Turn the partner by the right hand round, and you go left allemande
Come on back and swing your girl, promenade the land
Down on the corner, out in the street
Willy and the poor boys are playing
Bring a nickel, tap your feet

Circle left
You don't need a penny, just to hang around
But if you've got a nickel, won't you lay your money down
Left allemande the corner, come home a dosado
Men star by the left and roll it once around you go
Turn the partner by the right hand round, and you go left allemande
Come on back and swing your girl, promenade the land
Down on the corner, out in the street
Willy and the poor boys are playing
Bring a nickel, tap your feet
