Now all 4 ladies chain across, turn 'em round, don't get lost
Join your hands & make a great big ring, circle to the left
Allemande left, allemande thar, go right & left, make that star
Back 'em up boys & make a right hand star
Shoot that star, go right & left grand
Every other girl with every other hand
Meet a little lady, promenade her home (all the way around)
Get along home & swing & whirl
Go 'round & round with the pretty little girl
This golden rocket is a rollin' my blues away

Now 1 & 3 (2 & 4) you star thru
Go right & left thru, that's what you do
Pass thru, go right & left thru you do, turn your girl
Dive thru, star thru, cross trail thru, that corner swing
Swing corner lady, go 'round and around
Well you allemande left, go right & left grand
Every other girl with every other hand
Meet a new lady, promenade her home
*Well you dealt the cards but you missed the play
So hit the road, be on your way
This golden rocket is a rollin' my blues away

Now all 4 ladies chain across, turn 'em round, don't get lost
Join your hands & make a great big ring, circle to the left
Allemande left, allemande thar, go right & left, make that star
Back 'em up boys & make a right hand star
Shoot that star, go right & left grand
Every other girl with every other hand
Meet a little lady, promenade her home, all the way around
I want a good engine a runnin' on time
So baby I'm switching to another line
This golden rocket is a rollin' my blues away

Now all 4 ladies chain across, turn 'em round, don't get lost
Join your hands & make a great big ring, circle to the left
Allemande left, allemande thar, go right & left, make that star
Back 'em up boys & make a right hand star
Shoot that star, go right & left grand
Every other girl with every other hand
Meet a little lady, promenade her home, all the way around
The breakman started singin' a song
Said you're worried now but you won't be long
This golden rocket is a rollin' my blues away
