Sides face grand square
*A Salvation Army band played
And the children drank lemonade
And the morning lasted all day
All day
Allemande left and weave
**And through an open window came
Swing and you promenade
Pushing the town away, away

*They sat on the stony ground
And he took a cigarette out
And everyone else came down to listen

**It was the winter nineteen sixty-three
(It felt like the world would freeze) Swing and you promenade
With John F. Kennedy
And the Beatles

*The evening had turned to rain
Watched the water roll down the drain
As we followed him down - to the station

**And though he would never wave goodbye
(You could see it written in his eyes) Swing and you promenade
As the train rolled out of sight
Bye bye

Heads you promenade travel halfway around
Walk in square thru 4 hands around that ring
Touch 1/4, scoot back
Boys run right
Star thru, pass thru then trade by
Swing your corner lady, promenade I cry
Life in a northern town
