After considerable searching through my files which absolutely need to be in better order, I found the copy of Altona Trent John's book Play Songs Of The Deep South (Yes, I know. I shouldn't have made a copy of a complete book but felt justified in doing so because this book can't be purchased).

In any event, Trent John's book includes two versions of "Bon Ton or Sissy In De Barn" (pages 1-5) Note: two of these pages are drawings. One drawing shows girls and boys outdoors forming a circle [with the children not holding hands]and a girl & boy in the center of the circle. The other drawing shows a girl and boy outdoors dancing the two step [with no other children in the drawing.] A piano score is provided for the first "arrangement" of this song. The words to the second arrangement of "Bon Ton" are given within a piano score.

Here's the lyrics and directions from that book:

BON TON

or

SISSY IN DE BARN

Sissy in de barn,
O jine de weddin'
Sweetes' li'l' couple I e'er did see,
O Bon Ton, put yo' arms around me!
Say, Ii'l' Sissy, Won't you marry me?

Get back, gal.
Get yo' arms from 'round me!
All those sassy words you say,
O Bon Ton, put yo' arms around me!
Say, Ii'l' Sissy, Won't you marry me?
Get back, boy,
Don't put yo' arms around me!
All those foolin' words you say,
O Bon Ton, put yo' arms around me!
Say, 'li'l' Sissy, Won't you marry me?

(Sissy" is affectionate for "little Sister")

Directions
Any number may participate. The players form a large circle with a boy in the center.
They clap hands on each beat throughout as they swing.
1.        Boy in center advances in short, skip-like steps to a girl in the circle and stops in front of her on the words, "li'l' couple".
2.        He catches girl's right hand in his.
3.        They take position for social dancing.
4.        They move to center and dance the "two step" inside the circle.
5.        Pushes girl gently from him
6.        Shakes finger in mock anger at girl, meanwhile skipping back to her.
7.        Same as (2)
8.        Same as (3)
9.        Same as (4)
10.        Reverse (5), i.e. girl pushes boy from her.
11.        Reverse (6)
12.        Use steps (2), (3), and (4) again.
13.        At the conclusion of the above directions this girl and boy join the ring, some other boy goes to center and the dance is begun again.

This should be sung and danced gaily and not dragged out.

BON TON
"This second arrangement of "Bon Ton" can be played by more advanced pianists. It would provide a more colorful and more difficult accompaniment for the dance and could also be used as a piano solo...

The author provides more information provided about how the piano solo is played. The lyrics are the same as above.
