FIGURE (four times through)
Circle left
*Won't you come along now
Come along with me now
To the Mississippi
Yeah, yeah, the Mississippi
Left allemande, well you weave that ring
**Truckin' on down now to New Orleans
Dosado around your baby
Men star left and maybe
Go twice around now, yeah twice around now
Hey when you meet you swing your sweet
Promenade, keep walkin' down to Basin Street
Heads wheel around, slide thru, dosado
Make an ocean wave and rock it so neat
Spin chain thru, "Oh, Basin Street"
Girls circulate, star thru, partner trade
Cross trail you do, swing the corner Sue
Allemande left new corner, promenade you do
So I can lose those Basin Street Blues
ALTERNATE LYRICS
*The band's gonna meet us
Yeah, it's gonna meet us
Old friends are gonna greet us
Yeah, they're gonna greet us
**Shuffle on down to the land of dreams
