"Music expresses that which cannot be said and on which it is impossible to
be silent."

6 Jul
8:58 p.m.
I've got 1-2 versions
This version can be done as a Square or Big Circle:
Now you all join hands and circle the ring
Stop where you are and give your partner/honey a swing
(for beginners, use elbows - PR/NL)
And now you swing that little girl behind you
Leave her alone, go back & swing your own
(w/elbows - 2x round)
Then you allemande left with your corner girl
Do-Si-Do around your own
Now you all promenade - with the sweet corner maid
Singin’ Oh, Jimmy, Oh, Jimmy, Oh!
Now you all join hands and circle the ring
Stop where you are and give your partner a swing
And now you swing that little girl behind you
Swing your own if you’ve found that she’s not flown
Then you allemande left with your corner girl
Do-Si-Do around your own
Now you all promenade - with the sweet corner maid
Singin’ Oh, Jimmy, Oh, Jimmy, Oh!
Now you all join hands and circle the ring
Stop where you are and give your partner a swing
Now swing that corner girl, right there behind you
Go back and swing your own, like a chicken in the breadpan kickin’ up dough
Allemande left now with your left hand
Sashay around your own
Now you all promenade - with the sweet corner maid
Singin’ Oh Jimmy, Oh Jimmy, Oh!
This version was taken from a Joe Lewis recording:
OH JOHNNY! OH! (Caller: Joe Lewis)
INTRO: It's just oh, Johnny! Oh, Johnny! Oh!
ON THE BEAT: Figure
All join hands and circle the ring
Stop where you are & give your gal a couple of swings
Then swing that corner girl right there behind you
Go back & you swing your own
Put the rosin on the bow & here we go
Well, almd left now w/your left hand
Do-Si (sashay) around your own
(Sashay around, i.e., Mad Robin figure; but you can have them
Do-Si-Do- I use the term "Do-Si" & dancers know what it means)
Take that corner girl & prom. that corner maid singin'
Oh, Johnny! Oh, Johnny! Oh!
CHORUS:
All join hands & circle to the call
Now take your own & you swing at the wall
Do-Si your corner lady, right there behind you
See saw your pretty little taw
You see & saw all over the hall
Well, almd left and you almd right
Then almd left again
Now you take your own
And you run away home, singin'
Oh, Johnny! Oh, Johnny! Oh!
All join hands & circle the ring
Stop where you are & give your gal a swing & swing
Then swing that corner girl, she's right there behind you
Go back & swing your own
Put the rosin on the bow (phutt!), here we go
Well, almd left now w/your left hand
Do-Si (go sashay) around your own
Take that corner girl & prom. that corner maid, singin'
Oh, Johnny! Oh, Johnny! Oh!
All join hands & circle to the call
Now take your own & you swing at the wall
Do-Si your corner lady, right there behind you
See saw your pretty little taw
___________________________________(4)
Well, almd left and you almd right
Then almd left again
Now you take your own
And you run away home, singin'
Oh, Johnny! Oh, Johnny! Oh!
All join hands & circle the ring
Stop, stop & give your gal a couple of swings
Then swing that corner girl, right there behind you
Go back & swing your own
Like a chicken in the bread pan peckin' out dough
It's almd left now w/your left hand
Do-Si (go sashay) around your own
Take that corner girl & promenade
Promenade singin'
Oh, Johnny! Oh, Johnny! Oh!
All join hands & circle to the call
Now take your own & you swing at the wall
Do-Si your corner lady, right there behind you
See saw your pretty little taw
_______________________________(4)
Well, almd left and you almd right
Then almd left again
Now you take your own
And you run away home, singin'
Oh, Johnny! Oh, Johnny! Oh!
All join hands & circle to the Right!
Stop where you are & swing this girlie goodnight
Now swing your corner girl, right there behind you
Go back & swing your own
Like a chicken in the bread pan kickin' out dough
Well, almd left now w/your left hand
Do-Si around your own
Promenade that corner maid, she's your own, singin'
Oh, Johnny! Oh, Johnny! Oh!
TEACHING TIPS
“You all join hands and you circle the ring
Stop where you are and give your partner a swing”
So what you’re gonna do is you’ll take right elbows w/your partner - let’s
go back to beginning of circle - P on right - face them - face person
behind you corner - corner - partner. Sing “all join hands” - turn partner
R elbow, corner L elbow, back to partner & actually swing them (if elbows,
last partner part is 2x round) - turn back to corner, Alm L, DSD your own -
from the beginning again - DSD & stop. Now take corner in promenade -
singing - everybody sings - this is your new partner. New partner - new
corner behind you. Repeat

Is there a
dance figure tied to Oh Johnny?
I recently met a delightful local guy who grew up playing for his father in
southwestern NH, who promised to sing me the whole dance when we meet
again next week! I will duly write it down and share it here.

If you don't have the two collections of singing squares that Nils
Fredland has edited, you may want to check them out. In the case of Oh
Johnny, the chorus is a grand square.
Here are links to the CDSS store pages for the two collections.

Hi everyone,
I had the pleasure of calling Lynn Ackerson's 4x4 "Coconut Cream Pie" for
the first time last night. It was, forgive me, easy as pie for everyone
to
get - which I suppose was her reason for writing
it as it's a simplified
version of Apple Pie Quadrille. (It was also perfect for an American 4th
of
July weekend dance, featuring both stars and
stripes [long lines]. Ha.)
Do you have other favorite, not too difficult, 4-facing-4 dances you're
willing to share?
?
Tina

Pie is the added B2 Bal the Ring/CA twirl that
allows the dance to
continue
on in a contra line formation rather than being
static among the same 8
dancers. Would you post your version?
?

are we thinking of the same dance?? I agree - this is a easy 4X4 and I
like it -
but I don't see any resemblance to Apple Pie Quadrille - which really like to call - especially with newer dance
groups.? I find it much
easier than Lynn's dance.

Is there a dance figure tied to Oh Johnny?
I recently met a delightful local guy who grew up playing for his father in
southwestern NH, who promised to sing me the whole dance when we meet
again next week! I will duly write it down and share it here.
