Sides face grand square
You call everybody darlin'
Everybody calls you darlin' too
You don't know what you're saying', it's a game you're playin'
But you'll find someone else can play
Four ladies chain
Turn and chain the ladies right back home now
Promenade your darlin' round that square
As the years go by, you'll sit and wonder why
Nobody calls you darlin' any more!

All four ladies chain across the ring now
Turn and chain the ladies right back, home
Dopaso, partner left and corner right, partner left and then
Head ladies center teacup chain, take your time and go
If you call everybody darlin'
Then love won't come a knockin' at your door
And as the years go by, you'll sit and wonder why
Nobody calls you carlin' any more!

Heads square thru four hands around now
Around your corner there a dosado
Swing thru tonight, boys you will trade
Boys run, bend the line, right & left thru you know
Ladies lead, dixie style, boys cross fold
Swing your corner round and promenade
As the year go by, you'll sit and wonder why
Nobody calls you darlin' any more!

Heads curlique, let's do the walk & dodge
Right & left thru and turn the girl, you veer to the left for me
Well, the couples circulate, crossfire and then
Coordinate, all get straight, boys move up and then
Bend the line, square thru and count 'em 3 now
Swing your corner, promenade
As the years go by, you'll sit and wonder why
Nobody calls you darlin' any more!
