Sword and pistol by his side

Chain them back and promenade

Sword and pistol by his side
Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh

Heads promenade halfway
Sides go right & left thru I say
Square thru in the middle of the floor
Dosado and do an eight chain four
Froggie went a'courtin', he did ride, uh-huh
Swing that girl and promenade
Froggie went a'courtin', he did ride
Sword and pistol by his side
Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh
