Heads pass thru, split the ring, go around just un-o
In the middle and circle 4 along the lagoon-o (full around)
Frontier whirl (California twirl), corner swing, me-o-my-o
Join your hands, circle left along the bayou
4 ladies chain straight across that big old ring-o
Chain the ladies back and hear me sing-o
Your corner dosado, see saw your lady (there's time)
Allemande left that corner, weave the ring-o
Jambalaya, crawfish pie, chili gumbo
Dosado ma cherie me-o
Promenade big guitar and be gay-o
Son of a gun, let's have some fun along the bayou

Join your hands, circle left along the bayou
Go all the way around that ring-o
Allemande left your corner lady, dosado your pet
Well, allemande left your corner, weave around that big old set
Jambalaya, crawfish pie, chili gumbo
Dosado ma cherie me-o
Promenade big guitar and be gay-o
Son of a gun, let's have some fun along the bayou
