4 ladies (men) promenade, go walking around that ring
Gonna get back home and give that man (girl) a swing
All join hands you know, you circle left and go
Do an allemande left that corner, weave that ring
I feel like crying, sighing, what can I do
Swing that pretty lady and promenade her too
It's been a blue, blue day, I feel like running away
I feel like running away from the blues

1 & 3 (2 & 4) square thru, 4 hands around you do
With the corner do a dosado
You're gonna swing thru friend, then do a single hinge
All split circulate 2 spots, boys run around this girl
Reverse the flutter wheel bring a new lady back across and promenade the ring
It's been a blue, blue day, I feel like running away
I feel like running away from the blues

Sides face grand square
It's been a blue, blue day, I feel like running away,
I feel like running away from the blues
My love has been untrue, she's found somebody new
It's been a blue, blue day for me
4 ladies chain across, then chain 'em right back home
Turn that girl around and promenade along
It's been a blue, blue day, I feel like running away
I feel like running away from the blues

Swing her
I feel like running away from the blues
