You swing yours and Fll swing mine, Everybody swing; - and well Promenade around the ring, Promenade that pretty little thing that's Slim around the waist and pretty in the face, Promenade your Partners back to place, Square your sets with a smile on your face.
	* The phrase **Lady by your side*1 means the Corner Lady, and the call of "Circle wide" means to circle clockwise, to the left, which is the usual direc­tion of a circle in the Western Square Dance. **When using this introductory call for "Swing Old Adam," substitute "First Old Gent out to the right, and" for the last four beats of silence indicated on the last line of the above call.
