FIGURE (4 times through) C4, corner progression
Join your hands and circle left halfway round that big ol' set
Turn the corner under, swingin' her is grand
All 4 men a left hand star, once around is not too far
You'll dosado her then left allemande
Weave by one and turn a left hand round the next one
All the way and then 4 ladies want to chain
Join your hands and circle to the left and sometimes
*She squeezes hands and drives the men insane
Whirlaway, grand right & left, when you meet across the set
Promenade
**I guess there oughta be a law
Cause when she swings the men, they ain't the same again
She's Joan of Arkansaw
ALTERNATE LYRICS
*She lets you know your courtin's not in vain
*The way she holds your hand is inhumane
*You feel a thrill that no one can explain
*Her interest in the boys she can't restrain
*Her charms are there for all to ascertain
**Promenade her past the boys a-pitchin' straw
Now this gal's a pitcher, too, but she mostly pitches woo
**Promenade the gal you'd like to call your taw
Man, she really packs a sock, from Hot Springs to Little Rock
**Promenade, her figure hasn't got a flaw
In a square dance dress demure, she still knows how to lure
**Promenade, she'll settle down and be your squaw
She'll forget all other men, but brother until then
