Docey your corner lady, swing with your taw
Promenade go two by two, go walking round that hall
1 & 3 wheel around, right & left thru you go
Pass thru, on to the next, pass thru you know
Cross trail thru with the next old two, your corners allemande
Come back one and swing, promenade around that land
You promenade that ring with that sweet little thing
Bill Bailey won't you please come home

Head ladies chain to the right, turn that girl around
New head ladies chain now, straight across that town
1 & 3 go up and back, half square thru
Right & left thru the outside two, then star thru you do
Square thru across from you, four hands around
Swing with that corner, promenade
Well promenade the ring with that sweet little thing
Bill Bailey won't you please come home
