Circle left
When the fiddlin' man come to our town
Sister put on her prettiest gown
Momma told sister don't be hangin' around
That no good fiddlin' man
Four men star right one time around tonight
Left allemande and then turn partner right
Four ladies promenade one time around I say
Back home and swing and then promenade the ring
Sister ran away with the fiddlin' man
Momma threw a fit bangin' pots and pans
Said she better never ever get her hands
On the no good fiddlin' man

1 & 3 you square thru 4 hands around you do
Go all the way around, dosado and then
Make a wave and ladies trade, recycle there and then
Star thru and a right & left thru you know
Turn her and square thru 3 hands around you do
Swing and promenade
And dance to the fiddlin' man
(16 beats of fiddlin' music)
