Circle left
*They heard the breeze in the trees
Singing weird melodies
Men star right one time around tonight
Left allemande, now you weave that ring
They nursed it, then they rehearsed it
Swing that girl, promenade
Then they called it the sound of the blues

Heads promenade go halfway around
Down the middle, square thru 4
Go all the way, swing thru I say
Boys run right, couples circulate one notch
Chain down the line, square thru 3
Swing that corner, promenade that ring
Then the southland gave birth to the blues

Four ladies promenade one time around
Get home and swing with that man
Join hands, circle to the left you go
Left allemande, now you weave that ring
They nursed it, then they rehearsed it
Swing that girl, promenade that ring
Then they called it the sound of the blues
