Four ladies promenade that ring
Swing at home, everybody swing
Join hands and circle left, walkin' you bet
Allemande that corner girl, weave that ole set
And can't you see them shufflin' along (whistle)
Swing and promenade on
It's simply great mate, waitin' on the levee
Waitin' for the Robert E. Lee

Here's where the heads promenade halfway round
Sides star thru, pass thru
You star thru, pass thru, do a partner trade
Load that boat, we've got it made
And can't you see that paddle wheel turn
Swing and promenade 'em you'll learn
It's simply great mate, waitin' on the levee
Waitin' for the Robert E. Lee
