Circle left
Well my pretty baby she left me this mornin'
Said she wasn't comin' home anymore
The men star by the right, one time in the middle of the night
To the corner, allemande left the corner, weave around the ring
Well I fumed and I fussed, and I might-a cried a little
Swing your lady and you promenade the ring
But with a little bit of luck and my little black book
I'll have another 'fore the sun goes down

The heads (sides) square thru 4 hands in the middle you do
Run out to the corner, do a dosado
Swing thru for me, let the boy run right
You tag the line and now face it in
Just the girls, the girls load the boat, while the boys cheer them on
Swing that corner girl, promenade
And with a little bit of luck and my little black book
I'll have another 'fore the sun goes down

Four ladies (boys) promenade go once around that ring
Come back and you give that man (gal) a swing
Well, back right out and circle, you go rollin' around the ring
To the corner, allemande left the corner, weave around the ring
Well I fumed and I fussed, and I might-a cried a little
Swing your lady and you promenade the ring
But with a little bit of luck and my little black book
I'll have another 'fore the sun goes down
