Circle left
Down in Louisiana, bayous by and by
The men star right, turn it one time tonight
Left allemande and baby, weave that ring
Pretty soon you got stars on the water
Swing with your girl, promenade her
You got stars on the water, when it rains

Sides face grand square
Down in Louisiana, bayous by and by
A pirogue pole or your natural soul
Keeps you tied to a tree high tide
Left allemande and baby, weave that ring
Pretty soon you got stars on the water
Swing your girl, promenade her home
You got stars on the water, when it rains

Heads promenade travel halfway
Come down the middle, pass the ocean, extend
Swing thru and now, you spin that top
Boys move up, everybody slide thru
Touch 1/4 and then, scoot back my friend
Swing your girl, promenade her home
You got stars on the water, when it rains

Sides face grand square
Beaumont to Biloxi
Sea breeze at your door
Gypsy rings, dang hurricanes
Left allemande and baby, weave that ring
Blue Light lounge is shinin'
Swing your girl, promenade her home
You got stars on the water, when it rains

Sides face grand square
When it's midnight down in Mobile
Shinin' moonbeams on the bay
They come from miles around
Left allemande and baby, weave that ring
Night lights shinin' on
Swing your girl, promenade her home
You got stars on the water, when it rains

Swing her there
