Four ladies promenade go walkin' around
Back home and swing your man around
Join hands and circle go movin' along
Allemande that corner girl and weave round that ring
I had a good cry when you said goodbye
Swing your girl and promenade
You've been too gone for too long
Why don't you just stay gone

Heads square thru come on it's four hands around
Right & left thru you do
Dosado around make an ocean wave
Girls trade, all eight circulate
Single hinge, split circulate,
Swing your corner girl round
Take her hand and promenade
You've been too gone for too long
Why don't you just stay gone

Sides face grand square
You've come a long way going the wrong way
Don't even set your suitcase down
You wanted to roam, now you're paying the bill
You're just an old stone that rolled over the hill
Four girls promenade inside go walkin' around
Swing your man and promenade
You've been too gone for too long
Why don't you just stay gone
