Walk around your corner girl, see saw your partner
Join hands, circle left go round today
Four men star right hand and turn it around
Allemande left and weave the ring
She came to me, she said she knew me
And she'd known me a long time
From that night on, I knew I'd write my songs
Of Carolina in the pines

Heads square thru, four hands you do
You meet the sides and you do the right & left thru
Swing thru tonight, the boy run to the right
Half tag and scoot back you do
Boy run right, square thru three hands around
Swing your corner girl and promenade
From that night, oh, I'd write my songs
Of Carolina in the pines
