When our Grandmas and our Grandpas where just girls and boys    The seemed to have a lot more fun than we   Their party clothes were calicos and homemade courturoys   And the big event was called a husking bee   A banjo and a fiddle and a big old fashioned barn   Was all the preparation that they made   And if they tell you otherwise, dismiss it as a yarn   Refreshments were confined to lemonade   Now you may say it抯 corny.    And I guess I must agree   But it was good enough for Grandma, it was good enough for Grandpa   And it抯 good enough for me      Hoe down! The country抯 gone Hoe Down   It抯 puttin?it抯 toe down and kickin?it抯 heels   Hoe Down. It抯 really a rare dance. A pioneer square dance   But with a new deal      One, two, swing your partner lightly. While you hold her ever so tightly   And bring your best beau down   We抮e havin?a show down and gotta make hast   'cause hoe down抯 on it抯 way      Stand in line and do the Turkey, like a Yankee Doodle Dandy    When you turkey do it jerky, that抯 the trick, now your hoein?on down   Sashay, sashay, sashay around while your hoein?on down   Form a circle in the middle, everybody Allemande   Boys keep tempo with the fiddle and your gal in the calico gown   Whoa ho, whoa ho, whoa ho around in your calico gown   Do-si-do around, it抯 very romantic   Do-si-do    Do-si-do some more and maybe she抣l fall   Now it抯 time to do your honors   Then when you抳e done your honors, promenade the hall!       (repeat)
