All four ladies chain across the ring
Chain those ladies right back home again
Join hands and circle left, go walking around the set
Left allemande that corner, weave and sing
I'm just an old chunk of coal
Swing and promenade you go
I'm just an old chunk of coal, baby
But I'm gonna be a diamond some day

Heads promenade, halfway around you go
Sides pass thru, partner trade and roll
All double pass thru, leaders turn back you do
Dosado, make an ocean wave you know
Let the ladies trade and recycle now
Swing and promenade somehow
I'll be the cotton pickin' rage of the age
I'm gonna be a diamond some day
