Well four ladies chain in the morning
Chain the ladies right back home again
Join hands and circle in the morning
Left allemande the corner, weave the ring
I've been a lot of places, and I've done a lot of things
Dosado your partner, then you promenade the ring
When I looked into your blue eyes, my restlessness was gone
And I knew my roving heart had found a home

Boys star by the left hand, it's full around you go
Dosado and then you weave the ring
Wake me up early in the morning
So I can box the gnat, and do a wrong way grand
It used to make me sad to see the matrimony bound
Skip the partner, swing the corner, promenade the town
When I kissed your sweet lips, I knew what made them fall
Now I'm the biggest grounded eagle of them all
