Circle left
There's a deep silent river flowing just beyond
It's waters are deep and wide
Well the men star right, roll it one time tonight
Do an allemande left, and weave the ring
There's a light at the river, a light at the river
Swing a little girl, and promenade
My lord will stand, and hold in his hand
A light at the river for me

Heads promenade, travel halfway around
Come into the middle, and pass the ocean
Extend, swing thru, boys run right
Bend the line, reverse flutter wheel
Ladies lead dixie style
Boys cross fold, swing, and promenade
My lord will stand, and hold in his hand
A light at the river for me

Circle left
It's as dark as the night, but my eyes see a light
Just down by the riverside
Well the men star right, roll it one time tonight
Do an allemande left, and weave the ring
There's a light at the river, a light at the river
Swing a little girl, and promenade
My lord will stand, and hold in his hand
A light at the river for me

Sides promenade, travel halfway around
Come into the middle, and pass the ocean
Extend, swing thru, boys run right
Bend the line, reverse flutter wheel
Ladies lead dixie style
Boys cross fold, swing, and promenade
My lord will stand, and hold in his hand
A light at the river for me

Circle left
But the beckoning light leads me on through the night
To the waters where my soul may be cleansed
Well the men star right, roll it one time tonight
Do an allemande left, and weave the ring
There's a light at the river, a light at the river
Swing a little girl, and promenade
My lord will stand, and hold in his hand
A light at the river for me
