作詞: Tex Owens
作曲: Tex Owens
原主唱: Tex Owens
原文舞名: The Cattle Call Waltz Quadrille
中文舞名: 馴牛舞
編舞: Dick Montgomery,美國早期方舞
土風舞音樂: 惠美唱片 FDC-第0033集; 女王唱片 QNL-第0913集, 女王唱片 QNL-第0928集; 土風舞用的是演奏曲.

本舞原為美國早期的3/4拍子方舞,於民國54年在台北YMCA引介來台. 雖然在美國原舞是4對的方舞,但是舞序中有附註說,如果人多的話,

用一個大單圈來跳更好看. 當年介紹到台灣時就是以單圈的方式介紹,所以後來我們都是以一個大的單圈來跳這一首舞.

前年韶光舞影聯歡中曾經跳過,由於跳的時候大家默契不是很夠,換舞伴時場面有點混亂,秀美美眉特別中斷音樂,把麥克風拿給我,請我幫大家把舞序順一次.

在大家群策群力,共同回憶之下,終於把這首舞序又順回來了.

以下附上本舞原文舞序:

     Each man joins L-hands with his new corner (his original
     partner), and repeats the action of meas 1-2. Repeating the
     action of meas 3-4, the man passes the lady he last waltzed
     (his new partner) and moves on to the next lady on his R  
     (in a square, his original opposite lady; in a circle, his new
     R-hand lady).
          13-16     WALTZ THE NEXT LADY, AND BOW  
     Repeat the action of meas 5-8 with this new lady.
          17-20     THEN IT'S ROCK; AND ROCK; AND WALTZ ONCE
          AROUND  
     Taking this same lady in closed waltz pos, and with his
     back still to COH, the man rocks back on his L foot twd
     COH (lady rocks fwd on her R). In meas 2, man rocks fwd
     on his R, while lady rocks back on her L. Then, starting fwd
     on his L foot, the man makes one complete R-face turn with
     the lady in two waltz meas.
          21-24     ROCK; ROCK; AND ON TO THE NEXT  
     Repeat the action of meas 17-18. On meas 23, the man
     turns the lady 3/4 R-face under his L and her R hand, and
     on meas 24 she moves on to the next man   L, R, L,
     advancing CW. At the same time, the man advances CCW
     and takes the next lady in closed pos.
          25-28     AND YOU'LL ROCK; AND ROCK; AND WALTZ HER
          ONCE AROUND  
     Repeat the action of meas 17-20.
          29-32     TURN YOUR LADY, AND BOW
     The lady makes a full R-face turn in 2 meas (6 steps) under
     her R and the man's L hands, while man steps in place. On
     meas 31-32, repeat meas 7 and 8.

Note: This dance is even more beautiful when done in a large circle
of eight to twelve couples. And it is one of the most useful of
dances for those occasions when you have only five or six couples
for dancing.
