Four ladies chain
Don't let the sun catch you cryin'
Chain 'em home
The night's the time for all your tears
Allemande left and weave
Your heart may be broken tonight, but tomorrow in the morning light
Don't let the sun catch you cryin'

Heads (Sides) square thru four hands around there you travel
Dosado, make a wave
Swing thru and then boys run
Tag the line and cloverleaf
Girls square thru to three
Swing your corner, promenade for me
So, don't let the sun catch you cryin'

Four ladies chain
We know that cryin's not a bad thing
Chain 'em home
But stop your cryin' when the birds sing
Allemande your corner and weave
For the morning will bring joy, for every girl and boy
So, don't let the sun catch you cryin'

Four ladies chain
It may be hard to discover
Chain 'em home
That you've been left for another
Allemande left and you weave
But don't forget that love's a game, and it can always come again
Oh, don't let the sun catch you cryin'

Back out, circle left
Don't let the sun catch you cryin', oh no
Oh, oh, no
