Sides face, grand square Mary went running with a travelin' man Left momma cryin' with her head in her hands A sad case, so broken hearted Said momma got to go, gotta get outta here Gotta get outta town... tired of hangin' round Four ladies promenade One time around, back home and swing Swing that man and promenade the ring An ordinary story 'bout the way things go Round and around, nobody knows But the highway rolls on forever
