1 & 3 go up and back and make a right hand star
All the way around to your corner pair and make a left hand star
Once around when you get home, allemande behind your back
Dosado your partner, boys and weave around the track
A young cowboy named Billy Joe, rew restless on the farm
He could hardly wait to dosado, and swing her in his arms
He changed his clothes and shined his boots, and combed his dark hair down
Went to get his girl and promenade her into town

Heads you promenade now go 3/4 round
Side two you pass thru and circle four hands round
Side men break and make a line, go walkin' up and back
Pass thru, wheel & deal, double pass thru
Well the first one left, the next one right, and cross trail thru
Swing your corner lady, boys, a-waiting there for you
You promenade around that ring with the girl in Calico
Take her home and swing a while, with Swinging Billy Joe

He laughed and kissed his girl and said, "come on, we're gonna be late"
To dosado, swing and whirl, and then we'll promenade
He stopped and walked into the door and laid his money down
Took his girl, stepped right out and promenaded around

The girls all sigh and say that Billy Joe is quite a man
He can dosado, and swing and whirl, like nobody can
You promenade around that ring with the girl in Calico
Take her home and swing a while, swing her round you go, boys

Swing her high and low, Bill
Swing with Billy Joe
