Jessie Polka
(BS 1667)
Vaughn Parrish
FIGURE
Side 2 couples make an arch, Heads go right & duck right under
Dip and dive around the square, home you go and don't you blunder
Your corners allemande, put an arm around your partner
Star promenade her, do the Jessie Polka dance (*see comments)
With a heel and a toe, we'll start the room a-jumping
Girls roll back 1 you can see their bustles bumping
We'll dance through the night as if it were a minute
Our hearts are really in it, do the Jessie Polka dance*
Watch for the corner girl, when she comes around
Take her in your arms and swing her round and round
Promenade her home and keep her for your partner
Get home and swing her till the music starts again
(Do FIGURE 4 times)
