Circle left *You passed me by one summer day Flashed those big, brown eyes my way I knew I wanted you forever more Men make a right hand star, one time around Left allemande and then you weave the ring (I said) Hello Mary Lou (goodbye heart) Goodbye heart Dosado and promenade I knew, Mary Lou, we'd never part So, hello Mary Lou and goodbye heart
FIGURE Basic, corner progression
Head 2 couples square thru 4 hands Swing thru the outside two and then Boys run to the right and now Couples circulate somehow, chain down the line and turn the girl Star thru and pass thru Trade by and when you do, swing that corner girl and promenade I knew, Mary Lou, we'd never part So, hello Mary Lou and goodbye heart
CLOSER Basic
Well the 4 little ladies gonna promenade Get one time 'round the ring and then Get back home and swing your man around Gonna join up all your hands and then Circle to the left go 'round my friend Allemande left that corner gonna weave that ring (I said) Hello Mary Lou (goodbye heart) Goodbye heart Dosado and then you promenade I knew, Mary Lou, we'd never part So, hello Mary Lou and goodbye heart
TAG
So, hello Mary Lou and goodbye heart
