Head ladies center teacup chain
She left on a boat just to follow a dream
She had to find
You can't hold a girl, when she follows a dream
That's on her mind
Circle left
I see a boat on the river
Swing your girl around and promenade
Down to the ocean
Where to I can not say

Heads lead right, circle to a line
When you're done pass thru, chase right
Boys run around the girls, right & left thru
Load the boat keep in time
I see a boat on the river
Pass thru, swing the corner, promenade
Down to the ocean
Where to I can not say

Sides face grand square
I waited for her such a very long time
Don't know what for
'Cause I should have known when she left on the boat
We'd meet no more
(Allemande and weave)
I see a boat on the river
Swing your girl around and promenade
Down to the ocean
Where to I can not say

Circle left
But I guess they were wrong, in life you're sailing along
Things don't turn out, as they seem
Left allemande the corner, dosado you own
Left allemande and weave the ring
I see a boat on the river
Swing your girl around and promenade
If you should find her
Please greet her from me
