Sides face grand square
It comes from Mississippi and down in Alabam'
Creepin' like a fever all across the land
From deep in the Delta on the Louisiana shore
The people got to have it, Allemande left, weave
It's the hillbilly rock, beat it with a drum
Swing your lady, promenade her home
Keepin' up the rhythm, steady as a clock
Doin' a little thing called the hillbilly rock

Heads (Sides) promenade travel halfway round you go
Walk in square thru 4 hands go
All the way, swing thru you know
Boys run right, couples circulate
Chain down the line, square thru 3
Swing your corner, promenade your town
Keepin' up the rhythm, steady as a clock
Doin' a little thing called the hillbilly rock

Sides (Heads) promenade travel halfway round you go
Walk in square thru 4 hands go
All the way, right & left thru
Pass thru, trade by, everybody twist
(It's the hillbilly rock, beat it with a drum)
Swing your corner, promenade your town
Keepin' up the rhythm, steady as a clock
Doin' a little thing called the hillbilly rock

Circle left
Some say it came from Memphis down in Tennessee
Drifted in from Georgia about 1953
Left allemande your corner, come back dosado
Allemande left your corner, weave the ring
It's the hillbilly rock, beat it with a drum
Swing your lady, promenade her town
(Keepin' up the rhythm, steady as a clock)
Keepin' up the rhythm, steady as a clock
Doin' a little thing called the hillbilly rock

Circle left
Way back in old Kentucky where the bluegrass grows
Through the Carolinas on them dirt red roads
Left allemande your corner, come back dosado
Allemande left your corner, weave the ring
It's the hillbilly rock, beat it with a drum
Playin' them guitars like shootin' from a gun
Keepin' up the rhythm, steady as a clock
Doin' a little thing called the hillbilly rock
Everybody Twist
