Your corners allemande, box the gnat with Mary Ann
4 ladies promenade inside the farm
Come back home and swing and whirl
Swing 'em boys then put the girls back-to-back
Men promenade outside the farm
Oh, why don't someone marry Mary Ann?
Turn her left, your corners dosado
Come back one, promenade the land
She can shoot and she can plough, she can even milk a cow
Oh, why don't someone marry Mary Ann?

Head 2 ladies chain I say, same 2 girls a 1/2 sashay
Heads go forward up and back with you, star thru
Circle 4 with the outside two, head gents break that's what you do
Go forward 8 and back, the center 2 square thru
Outside 4 a left allemande and a right hand round your own
Corner swat the flea, then promenade that pretty girl home
*Promenade, go round the farm, you can do yourself no harm
Oh, why don't someone marry Mary Ann?

*Promenade go round the ring, she's a'hankerin' to swing

*Promenade go round the floor, she can do the morning chores

*Promenade go 2 by 2, while she makes some mountain dew

Ain't no feller, boy or man, can shoot a rifle like she can

Promenade her home to stay, she'll be 12 next Groundhog Day
Oh, why don't someone marry Mary Ann?
She's got a trousseau
Why don't someone marry Mary Ann?
