Circle left
I'd rather be in Carolina
Men star right one time around
Allemande and weave
I'd rather be in Carolina
Ain't no place finer
No matter where you roam

Heads (sides) promenade halfway around
Square thru four
Go all the way and right & left thru
Veer left, couples circulate
Half tag, scoot back, boys go
Swing the corner lady round and promenade
Ain't no place finer
No matter where you roam

Sides face grand square
The sun always shines in Carolina
Even when the skies are gray
Allemande and weave
My home will always be in Carolina
Even when my blue skies are gray

Sides face grand square
I'd rather be in Carolina
Ain't no place finer
No matter where you roam
Allemande and weave
I'd rather be in Carolina
Ain't no place finer
No matter where you roam

Swing 'em boys
