Head two couples forward and back and do a full square thru
Go right & left, right & left, then do a right & left thru
Turn the girl, dive into the middle, do a little dosado
You box the gnat, make a right hand star and to your corner go
Allemande left your corner, do a grand old right & left
Gonna meet your honey and promenade
*You promenade for me, well, Billy don't you see
Bill Bailey won't you please come home

Head two couples lead to the right and circle to a line
Go forward eight and back with you
Now square thru, it's four hands, four hands don't roam
Find your corner, dosado, turn a right hand 'round your own
Allemande left your corner, pass by the girl you know
Swing the next little honey round and round
*Promenade the ring, get back home and swing
Bill Bailey won't you please come home

*Promenade the lane, well, Bill, it's a shame
