Join 8 hands and circle to the left go walking round the set
Allemande left that corner girl, come back and swing your pet
Promenade go 2 by 2 and don't you slow down
1 & 3 wheel around, dosado all the way around
Right & left thru and turn your girl, and cross trail thru and then
Allemande left that corner girl now weave around that ring
In and out you'll go, when you meet you'll promenade
Then you'll know what it means to be blue

Head 2 couples dance to the middle and come on back with you
Turn opposite by the right, partner left allemande thar
Gents swing in a two-hand star once around you know
Shoot that star full around, turn corner a right hand round
Walk right by your own little girl and swing the next little maid
Promenade this girl around you know
Some day you'll realize and have to pay for all those lies
Then you'll know what it means to be blue
