Join your hands, make a ring, circle left now while I sing
Of a lady and a gun that wasn't loaded very much
Allemande left, right & left grand, on the floor there lay her man
And the pistol in her hand it was a-smokin'
Promenade
She didn't know the gun was loaded
And she's so-o-o sorry, my friend
Walk round your corner, swing your baby
She'll never, never do it again

Head two gents right elbow swing,
Now your own, the same old thing
Then it's corners all a right elbow around that pretty thing
See saw round your partners there, ladies walk inside the square
Now shoot your man and swing the next one waitin'
She didn't know the gun was loaded
Left allemande, then promenade
You promenade, the gal is loaded
But she'll never, never do it again
