Sides face grand square
Walking along the beach last night
Who do you think I spy?
A girl with ebony fire eyes
Soft and low do she cry
Allemande and weave
She told me only in Miami is Cuba so far away
Swing and promenade
Only in Miami, my story she goes this way

Heads (sides) you promenade, you go halfway round
Down the middle, square thru go 4
All the way then a right & left thru
Eight chain 6 around you fly
Only in Miami
Swing the corner girl and promenade
Only in Miami is Cuba so far away

Sides face grand square
(Music)
Allemande left and weave the ring
And she cries for her child without a mother
And she cries for her son without a father
And she cries for herself without a lover
Promenade
Can't face another day
Chase the blues away

Sides face grand square
Only in Miami is Cuba so far away
Only in Miami is Cuba so far away
Allemande left, weave the ring
Only in Miami is Cuba so far away
Swing and promenade
Only in Miami is Cuba so far away
