Well those 4 ladies chain 3/4 round the ring go
Join hands, circle to the left around that ring
Now reverse back in single file,
the girls roll in make a right hand star
To the same man left allemande, then weave around that ring
Well it's in and out around until you meet that girl
Dosado, then you promenade that world
So you take her in your arms and tell her of her many charms
And swing her while the fiddlers play the Bonapart's Retreat

This time those 4 ladies promenade, go once inside the ring now
Get back, swing that man, go round and round
Do an allemande left with the corner girl, come back a dosado
Promenade that lady keep walking round the ring
1 & 3 wheel around, right & left thru with the 2 you found
Well cross trail back, swing that corner lady round
Promenade that ring, walk a lady back home I sing
Right back go round the ring to the Bonapart's Retreat
