Well, now those four girls promenade one time around
Strut right back home, swing your man around
Join your hands, circle left and then
Left allemande and then you weave that ring
*Now I'm a-paintin' the house, mendin' the fence
Yes, I've gone out and lost all of my sense
Well I sobered up and I got to thinkin'
Girl, you ain't much fun since I quit drinkin'

Heads (sides) square thru get me four hands, go
Find your corner, dosado, you know
Swing thru, don't stop, spin that top
Move up and do the right & left thru, pop
Come on square thru three to your corner, there
Swing that girl around and promenade that square
Well I sobered up and I got to thinkin'
Girl, you ain't much fun since I quit drinkin'

Four ladies chain across that ring
Turn that girl and then you chain them home again
Join your hands, circle left 'round you go
Do a left allemande and you weave that ring
Now I'm feeding the dog, sackin' the trash
Swing that girl and promenade like that
Well I sobered up and I got to thinkin'
Girl, you ain't much fun since I quit drinkin'
