Joan Of Arkansaw (WIN 4824) Bruce Johnson

FIGURE (4 times through)

Join your hands and circle left halfway round that big ol' set
Turn the corner under, swingin' her is grand
All 4 men a left hand star, once around is not too far
You'll dosado her then left allemande
Weave by one and turn a left hand round the next one
All the way and then 4 ladies want to chain
Join your hands and circle to the left and sometimes
*She squeezes hands and drives the men insane
Whirlaway, grand right & left, when you meet across the set
Promenade
**I guess there oughta be a law
Cause when she swings the men, they ain't the same again
She's Joan of Arkansaw
