Play party songs were designed to protect young people from the evil business of square dancing. Any number of couples would join hands and form a ring. The ladies would march around a single man and sing the first part of the song at a slow tempo. The man would chose a partner from the ring and the dancers would skip around them singing &#039;Two in the middle and I can&#039;t dance Josie.&#039; This would continue until all couples were In the center. They would swing left and Right.<\/div>\n<div class=\"lyrics-header\">Lyrics:<\/div>\n<div class=\"lyrics\">\n[D] Coffee grows on white [Bm] Oak trees<br \/>\n[D] The river flows with [Em] brandy \u2013O[A]<br \/>\n[D] Go choose someone to [Bm] roam with you<br \/>\n[Em] Sweet as lasses [A] candy \u2013O<br \/>\n[D] Two in the middle and I [Bm] can&#039;t dance Josie<br \/>\n[D] Two in the middle and I [C] can&#039;t get [A] around<br \/>\n[D] Two in the middle and I [Bm] can&#039;t dance Josie<br \/>\n[G] Hello [A] Susan [D] Brown<\/p>\n<p>Four in the middle and I can\u2019t dance Josie<br \/>\nFour in the middle and I can\u2019t get around<br \/>\nFour in the middle and I can\u2019t dance Josie<br \/>\nHello Susan Brown<br \/>\n[D] Railroad, [F#m] steamboat, [Bm] river and [G] canal<br \/>\nI lost my [Em] true love on that [A] ragin\u2019 canal [D]<br \/>\n[D] O she\u2019s gone, gone, gone,<br \/>\nO she\u2019s gone, gone, gone, [A]<br \/>\nO she\u2019s gone on that ragin\u2019 [D] canal (X2)<\/p>\n<p>Fiddler\u2019s drunk and I can\u2019t dance Josie<br \/>\nFiddler\u2019s drunk and I can\u2019t get around<br \/>\nFiddler\u2019s drunk and I can\u2019t dance Josie<br \/>\nHello Susan Brown<\/p>\n<p>Cow in the well and can&#039;t jump Josie<br \/>\nCow in the well and can&#039;t get around<br \/>\nCow in the well and can&#039;t jump Josie<br \/>\nHello Susan Brown<\/p>\n<p>Railroad, steamboat, river and canal<br \/>\nI lost my true love on that ragin&#039; canal<br \/>\nO she&#039;s gone, gone, gone,<br \/>\nO she&#039;s gone, gone, gone,<br \/>\nO she&#039;s gone on that ragin\u2019 canal<br \/>\n(X2)\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How do I download this Mp3?
