Circle left
It started way back in third grade
I used to sit beside Emmy Lou Hayes
Left allemande and now you dosado
Left allemande your corner, weave that ol' ring
Next day I chased her 'round the playground
Swing your girl and promenade her back home
And Emmy Lou got caught passing me a note
Before the teacher took it, I read what she wrote

Heads square thru 4 around that ring and go
Now dosado her
Well now you swing thru then
You're going to spin your top, you roll it round now
And do the right & left thru
Square thru 3 hands and go
Swing and promenade
I think this is how love goes, check yes or no

Heads promenade and go halfway
Walk in and square thru 4 hands I say
Swing thru, and now the boys you run right
You ferris wheel, roll it round there tonight
Square thru 3 hands around and go
Swing with your girl and promenade her back home
And Emmy Lou got caught passing me a note
Before the teacher took it, sides face grand square

Do you love me, do you wanna be my friend? And if you do
Well then don't be afraid to take me by the hand, if you want to
Four ladies promenade
I think this is how love goes
Swing and promenade
I think this is how love goes, check yes or no

Sides promenade and go halfway
Walk in and square thru 4 hands I say
Swing thru, and now the boys you run right
You ferris wheel, roll it round there tonight
Square thru 3 hands around and go
Swing with your girl and promenade her back home
I can't believe it's been that long ago
When we got started with just a little note

Sides square thru 4 around that ring and go
Now dosado her
Well now you swing thru then
You're going to spin your top, you roll it round now
And do the right & left thru
Square thru 3 hands and go
Swing and promenade
I think this is how love goes, check yes or no

Sides face grand square
Do you love me, do you wanna be my friend? And if you do
Well then don't be afraid to take me by the hand, if you want to
Four ladies promenade
I think this is how love goes
Swing and promenade
I think this is how love goes, check yes or no
