Lyrics
Intro
Warm fiddle pickup, soft boot stomps, handclaps
Caller: Everybody find your partner now.
Take it easy. Here we go.
Verse 1
Lanterns glowing on the old wood wall
Fiddle starts calling and it gathers us all
Mama’s got rhythm, Daddy’s got time
Grandpa’s clapping on the two and nine
Red dress turning by the lemonade stand
Blue jeans moving with a gentle hand
No need to hurry, no need to fly
Just follow the caller and let the night ride
Pre-Chorus
Allemande left with your corner there
Do-si-do with an easy air
Take her hand and turn around
Feel those boots on the old barn ground
Chorus
Swing your corner girl tonight
Round and round in the soft porch light
Step by step and smile by smile
Dance that country mile
Swing your corner girl real slow
Let that fiddle tell you where to go
Promenade beneath the string-light swirl
Take good care of your corner girl
Verse 2
Cousin Joe missed the turn again
Laughed so hard he had to start again
Nobody minds and nobody keeps score
There’s always room on the wooden floor
Sweet tea sweating in a paper cup
Band keeps playing and the moon comes up
Tucker’s voice says, “You’re doing fine”
Just one more circle down the line
Pre-Chorus
Allemande left, now don’t you rush
Do-si-do in the sawdust hush
Bow to your partner, turn and twirl
Then say hello to your corner girl
Chorus
Swing your corner girl tonight
Round and round in the soft porch light
Step by step and smile by smile
Dance that country mile
Swing your corner girl real slow
Let that fiddle tell you where to go
Promenade beneath the string-light swirl
Take good care of your corner girl
Bridge
Breakdown: handclaps, fiddle, light stomps
Left hand round and right hand through
Everybody’s learning something new
If you lose your place, just laugh and grin
The next little circle pulls you back in
Caller:
Allemande left!
Do-si-do!
Promenade easy now!
That’s it. There you go.
Final Chorus
Swing your corner girl tonight
Round and round in the soft porch light
Step by step and smile by smile
Dance that country mile
Swing your corner girl real slow
Let that fiddle tell you where to go
Promenade beneath the string-light swirl
Take good care of your corner girl
Outro
Warm fiddle tag, crowd claps, boots fading
Caller:
Bow to your partner.
Bow to your corner.
Goodnight, everybody.
