Circle left
*It's so nice to meet an old friend and pass the time of day
Talk about the home town a million miles away
Allemande your corner - turn partner by the right
Left allemande weave the ring
Did she mention my name just in passing
**When the morning came, Swing and promenade
***Is the ice still in the river, are the old folks still the same
By the way, did she mention my name

Four ladies chain now turn the girl and then
Head (Side) couples promenade halfway round again
Walk in and square thru and you get four hands around
When you get out there make an ocean wave
Swing thru, boy run right, half tag
Swing that corner, promenade
****Is the home team still on fire, do they still win all their games
By the way, did she mention my name

*Is the landlord still a loser, do his signs hang in the hall
Are the young girls still as pretty in the city in the fall

**When the talk ran high, Swing and promenade

***Does the laughter on their faces still put the sun to shame

*****Is the old roof still a leakin' when the late snow turns to rain

Four men promenade one time around
Back home and then swing your girl once around
Join sixteen and circle round the ring
Left allemande and you weave around the ring
Did she mention my name just in passing
Looking at the rain, did she drop a name or two
Say hello from someone, they'll be no need to explain
By the way, did she mention my name

Now you swing
Did she mention my name
