Circle left
* Be sure it's true when you say "I love you"
** It's a sin to tell a lie

Allemande that corner girl, dosado you own
The men star left around the ring you go
Home you go dosado, do a left allemande
Come back one and promenade
*** So be sure it's true when you say "I love you"
**** It's a sin to tell a lie


ALTERNATE LYRICS

* Cross my heart hope to die, I'll never, never tell another white lie
** Took a little gal out on a date last night
Next to her "Gravel Gertie" would've looked alright


*** Lord have mercy on a no-account sinner
Give me one more chance to let another fellow win her
**** Cross my heart and hope to die, I'll never, never tell another white lie


FIGURE    Mainstream, corner progression

Heads promenade halfway around you travel
Down the middle pass the ocean, extend
Spin the top, watch 'em go, boy run right around
Wheel & deal, face those two, right & left thru and now
Flutter wheel you do then boy walk across
Swing the corner girl and promenade
So be sure it's true when you say "I love you"
It's a sin to tell a lie
