Some girls they like walkin', courtin' round the square
Showin' off their fine shoes and ribbons in their hair
But you wont catch me walking out on a night so grand
I'll be kicking up my feet down at the old barn dance
Twirl me round Johnny
Twirl me round Joe
Twirl me round Johnny
Don't you let me go, go
Don't you let me go
Some gals they like sittin' down to supper with their beau
Cook him a fine meal on Ma's old kitchen stove
You wont catch me workin' with a skillet or fry pan
I be workin' up a sweat down at the old barn dance
Twirl me round Johnny
Twirl me round Joe
Twirl me round Johnny
Don't you let me go, go
Don't you let me go
Some girls they like standin' just beside the big dance floor
Swayin' to the music, say they couldn't ask for more
You won't catch me swayin' and wishin' on romance
I'll be twirlin' round the floor down at the old barn dance
Twirl me round Johnny
Twirl me round Joe
Twirl me round Johnny
Don't you let me go, go
Don't you let me go
