The Old Hawaiian Way (RIV 296) Buddy Weaver

OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER

Four ladies Chain across, you turn your girl around
Chain the ladies, send her right back home and now
Join your hands, you’ve gotta, Circle ‘round the ring
Allemande Left and Weave around the ring.
Soon the other little ladies started singing it*
And the hula maids and started swinging it
Like a tropical storm that’s the way it hits
Swing and sway the old Hawaiian way.

FIGURE

Heads [sides] you Promenade, half way around the ring
Walk in and Pass the Ocean, Extend today
Swing Thru, Spin the Top
Men move up and do the Right & Left Thru
Come on and Square Thru three hands around the ring
Swing your corner girl around and Promenade
Like a tropical storm that’s the way it hits
Swing and sway the old Hawaiian way.

TAG

Oh yea. A - lo - ha!

ADDITIONAL LYRICS

We’re going a-way.
Swing and Promenade her, I say
