Tune: Shave the Donkey (from Shipdham in Norfolk)
A variant of this tune called Bob-Ridley-O was collected by Russell Wortley at Balsham, Cambridgeshire. See English Dance and Song, Vol.40, No.2. Summer 1978.
| A1 | First couple take both hands and dance 4 sideways steps down the middle and 4 side steps back, all that again, face up on the last bar holding inside hands. (8 bars) | Slip Step |
| B1 | First couple make an arch, turn down, and dance round the set - man inside - with the arch over the heads of the men first, "cut across the corner" and over the heads of the women; so back to places. (8 bars) | C/P |
| A2 | All take both hands with partners, first couple weave to the bottom of the set, first man pushing and then pulling while the other 3 couples move back and forward, keeping together in line, the men pulling and pushing (i.e. half-oussettes). (8 bars) | W/S |
| B2 | The 2 couples at the top dance round each other once while the 2 bottom couples do the same. (8 bars) | P/R |
| Repeat the dance with a new top couple. |
The last dance round can be performed by everyone dancing round in a circle to represent a Polka round the room, which was a feature of the Feast Dances.
