Four ladies promenade, go one time around
Back home and swing, swing your lady around
Then join hands, circle left go moving round the ring
Allemande Left that corner girl, weave the ring
Eight more miles to Louisville, it's coming into view
Swing your lady around and promenade her too
I knew some day that I'd come back, I knew it from the start
Eight more miles to Louisville, the hometown of my heart

Heads (sides) square thru you go four hands around you know
Around your corner lady, do a dosado
Swing thru two by two and then boys run right
Ferris Wheel, those center two pass thru and go
Slide thru, square thru three hands round
Swing your corner girl and promenade on down
She's the kind that you can't find a-rambling through this land
I'm on my way this very day to win her heart and hand
