Join 8 hands, circle left way down the valley
Move along, now the men star right around
To the corner allemande, then go forward two
Right and a left, now turn back 4
Count 'em off & you pull by the 4th one
Swing the next, and then you promenade
But remember the Red River Valley
And the girl that has loved you so true

Now the head ladies chain and you turn 'em
Heads (sides) square thru & go 4 hands around
Swing thru the outside two & then the boys will run
Bend the line, go forward 8 and back
Star thru, pass thru, and swing the corner
Left allemande, come back and promenade
*For they say you are taking the sunshine
That brightens our pathway awhile

Now bow to your own
