Circle left
On Saturday night where I was born
Down on the farm we start dancing, guitar playing until the break of dawn
Left allemande with the corner girl, dosado your own
Left allemande with the corner girl and weave around the ring
Bo weevil, bo weevil, where have you been all day
Dosado when you meet your girl and promenade that way
Bo weevil, bo weevil, why did you go astray
You'll get a licking as sure as I'm sitting on this bale of hay

1 & 3 (2 & 4) promenade halfway around the ring
Down the middle, right & left thru, turn the girl I sing
Flutter wheel full around, sweep 1/4 more
Pass thru, right & left thru, turn that girl once more
Curlique, scoot back, boys fold and then
Double pass thru, face left, promenade her home
Bo weevil, bo weevil, where have you been all day
Mama started looking, hasn't stopped looking since you went away

Four boys promenade once around the ring
Get back home, swing your girl, everybody swing
Join hands, circle left, go once around and then
Allemande left your corner girl and weave around the ring
Bo weevil, bo weevil, where have you been all day
Dosado when you meet your girl and promenade that way
Bo weevil, bo weevil, why did you go astray
You'll get a licking as sure as I'm sitting on this bale of hay

Bow to your partner, turn and bow to the corner too
