OK. Since no one else seems to have done it, here they are. All those dropped "g's" seem reasonable since--after all--the words come from Stompin' Tom. For his own rendition of the song, see the link posted by Helen above. And if you want punctuation, add it yourself. Tom didn't include any in his sung version, so Im not adding it here. I was livin’ in the city where you never get to know Why they never play a fiddle on the radio. Then one day I met a country girl And now I’m livin’ in another world Up to the barn dance we did go Swing your honey and you do-si-do Fiddle up a little bit of St. Anne’s Reel Promenade her home and then click your heels A little sip of cider wouldn’t do any harm When you take her for a hayride on the farm Make that country girl your wife And you’ll be happy all your life Take a little guitar, sing a little song _____ up the old man steppin’ right along Do a little kissin’ if you get a chance When you do a little swingin’ at the old barn dance Blue dog chewin’ on the old man’s pipe Old man shooin’ at the dog all night Where did the caller’s hair piece go It’s hangin’ on the end of the fiddler’s bow Have another corncob yellow and big Clap your hands now and do a little jig Swing your honey all around the hall Promenade her home and that’ll be all
