4 ladies promenade, you go inside the ring
Back home you swing your honey, a great big swing
Join 'em up hands and circle left, go walking around you go
Allemande left your corner then weave the ring there, Joe
*I've got an old hound dog, he's mean as he can be
Dosado the partner, promenade for me
He is the meanest dog there is around this town
Now tell me why my dog don't bark when you come around

Head 2 square thru 4 hands around you go
Dosado the corner one time you know
Swing thru 2 by 2 and the boys run to the right
Wheel & deal and circle 4 halfway tonight
Dive thru, square thru 3/4 around you go
Swing that corner girl and promenade her, Joe
He is the meanest dog there is around this town
Now tell me why my dog don't bark when you come around

*He is the meanest dog there is around this town
Dosado the partner, promenade on down
He bit the postman and the milkman, too, now everyone in town
Is asking why my dog don't bark when you come around
