Our | Em new | frontier town is | D ar | ranged in a square. |
Four | Em walls | seal out weather, both | D storm | y and fair. |
So it’s | C long | been the rule, in our | Em churches | and schools, |
That we | C dance | in a | D square | in our | Em ev | eningwear. |
Now the | Em old | Earth is restless; she | D keeps | fighting back |
As us | Em God | -fearing folk square | D off | for attack. |
’Til the | C hands | of our town beat the | Em rest | lessness down. |
Then we | C dance | in a | D square | in our | Em ev | eningwear. |
If you | Em fol | low your neighbor’s wife | D one | moonlit night, |
Does | Em she | roll in the clover with | D no | man in sight? |
Then check | C o | ver your own; you must | Em chain | her back home, |
Where we | C dance | in a | D square | in our | Em ev | eningwear. |
Yet this | Em New | World is wild; we | D face | once again |
Those | Em na | tives whose women dance | D circ | les ’round men. |
But our | C new | way will spread, ’til the | Em old | ones are dead. |
And we’ll | C dance | in a | D square | in our | Em ev | eningwear. |
