Circle left
Early in the evenin', just 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 and you go left allemande
Come on back and swing your girl, promenade the land
Down on the corner, out in the street
Willie and the poor boys are playing
Bring a nickel, tap your feet

Head (Side) couples lead to the right and circle to a line
Make a line, up and back, pass thru
Tag the line all the way thru face out, and partner trade then
Right & left thru, turn your girls
Slide thru and an eight chain five
Down on the corner, out in the street
Willie and the poor boys are playin'
Swing your corner, promenade
Down on the corner, out in the street
Willie and the poor boys are playin'
Bring a nickel, tap your feet

Sides face, grand square
Early in the evenin', just about supper time
Over by the courthouse they're starting to unwind
Poor kids on the corner trying to bring you up
Willie picks a tune out and he blows it on the harp
