Sides face grand square
She was in the back yard, say it was a little past nine
When her prince pulled up, a white pickup truck
Allemande left and weave
Her folks shoulda seen it comin', it was only just a matter of time
Plenty old enough to Promenade
The day she up and run

Heads (Sides) lead right
Single circle to a wave
Girls circulate (pause here), boys trade
Swing thru, two by two, recycle round you go
Square thru 3, trade by
Swing and promenade
She left the suds in the bucket and the clothes hangin' out on the line

Heads (Sides) slide thru
Double pass thru, track 2
Explode the wave chase right
Boys run, square thru 2
Trade by, touch 1/4
Follow your neighbor, half a spread
Swing and promenade
She left the suds in the bucket and the clothes hangin' out on the line

Sides face grand square
(or Head ladies center, teacup chain
Now, doncha wonder what the preacher's
gonna preach about Sunday mornin'?
Nothin' quite like this has happened here before
Allemande left and weave
Well, he must have been a looker
a smooth-talkin' son of a gun, promenade
Her Mama's heart was broke, the day she fell in love

Circle left
All the biddies in the beauty shop, gossip goin' non-stop
Allemande left that corner and you weave
How could 18 years just up and promenade away
Our little pony-tailed girl growed up to be a woman
Gone in the blink of an eye
She left the suds in the bucket and the clothes hangin' out on the line

Allemande left and swing
You can't fence time, and you can't stop love
