Everybody join hands, circle to the left go round the ring
Drop your hands, go single file
Everybody put a right hand in, make a right hand star
Now turn around, go the other way back
Left hand star you know, turn it around you go
All the ladies turn around and swing with your man
Promenade her back to me, love her so tenderly
Goodbye, my lady love, goodbye

Head couples move up to the middle and you come on back
Then make a left hand star, one time around the ring, back out at home
And now the side two move up to the middle and you come on back
And make a right hand star, one time around
Look for the corner now, allemande left, come back and promenade
Promenade her back to me, love her so tenderly
Goodbye, my lady love, goodbye

Circle to the left, 8 hands around you go
Walk all around the corner girl, see-saw your partner
Men star by the right, you turn it once around the set
Allemande left the corner, and you weave the ring
Singing, goodbye, my lady love, farewell my turtle dove
When you meet your darling you dosado
Promenade her back to me, and love her so tenderly
Goodbye, my lady love, goodbye

Heads promenade 3/4 round the ring
Side couples right & left thru, turn your girl and pass thru
Circle 4 halfway, 1/4 more
Right & left thru, turn your girl and cross trail
Go to the corner, allemande left, well go forward 2 and then
Right and a left, full turn round and promenade
Singing, goodbye, my lady love, farewell my turtle dove
Promenade her home, well by and by
