You bow, the gents star left
One time is not too far
Your partner right hand round
Like a wrong way thar,
Throw in the clutch, here we go
All turn back, pass your own
(Gents reverse the star, girls reverse the ring)
Your corners allemande
Go right and left grand
And now go hand over hand around that ring
Until you meet your maid
You dosado your honey, promenade
(Everybody join in the chorus)
Sweet Jennie Lee
From sunny Tennessee
She's swingin' now with me
Sweet Jennie Lee

Your corner dosado
See-saw that girl you know
Then face your corner Jane
And all eight chain
Girls star right you know
It's one full time you go
To an allemande thar, gents back up, a right hand star
And then you shoot that star, go right and left grand
Around that big ole ring
You promenade your honey and you sing
Sweet Jennie Lee
From sunny Tennessee
She's swingin' now with me
Sweet Jennie Lee
