Key: A major•
Verse 1
Down in Kentucky,
when my mother and
father were growing up,
they used to square dance
on Saturday nights.
They used to dance on the old punching floors,
you know, they were real rough.
And they would want to make them slicker,
so they would throw something
on the floor
to make them slicker.
Sometimes it would be sugar,
sometimes cornmeal,
and sometimes salt,
you know, something just to shuffle your feet
around on to make the floors more slippery
and easier for dancing.
And the expression was,
when they started dancing,
and they'd been dancing for a little while,
somebody holler out sugar on the floor
throw a little sugar on the floor
and that would be sort of a sign
for everybody to start this little this kind of clog that
they did when they threw the sugar on the floor
they clog around it and
slick in the floor up
