Circle left
Is this the way to Amarillo
Every night I've been hugging my pillow
Left allemande the corner, turn your partner by the right
Left allemande and weave the ring
Dreaming dreams of Amarillo
I've been weeping like a willow
Crying over Amarillo
And sweet Marie who waits for me

Four ladies chain, turn the girl and then
Heads (sides) promenade halfway round
Sides (heads) square thru 2, swing thru
Recycle, veer left, couples circulate
Girls run, girls trade, boys run, all promenade
Show me the way to Amarillo
And sweet Marie who waits for me

Sides face grand square
Sha la la la la la la la
Sha la la la la la la la
Sha la la la la la la la
And sweet Marie who waits for me
Four ladies promenade one time round now
Back home swing and all promenade
Dreaming dreams of Amarillo
Sweet Marie who waits for me
