Circle left
There's a ship rigged and anchored in the harbor
Tomorrow for old England she sails
Allemande that corner, turn the partner by the right
Left allemande and weave the ring
I must be aboard my ship tomorrow
Swing your girl and promenade her home
For you are beautiful, and I have loved you dearly
More dearly than the spoken word can tell

Heads promenade and travel halfway
Lead to the right, swing thru
Boy run around the girl, couples circulate
Bend the line, a right & left thru you know
Touch 1/4, circulate, boy you run right
Swing that corner girl and promenade
For you are beautiful, and I have loved you dearly
More dearly than the spoken word can tell

Circle left
I heard there's a wicked war a wagin'
The taste of war I know so very well
Allemande that corner, turn the partner by the right
Allemande left the corner and you weave the ring
I must be aboard my ship tomorrow
Swing that girl and there you promenade
For you are beautiful, and I have loved you dearly
More dearly than the spoken word can tell

Circle left
Though death and darkness gather all about me
And my ship be torn apart upon the sea
Allemande that corner, turn the partner by the right
Allemande left the corner and you weave the ring
Should I return safely into England
Though my heart is full of tears at this farewell
For you are beautiful, and I have loved you dearly
More dearly than the spoken word can tell
