Girls promenade inside the ring, it's once around you go
Turn partner right go full around, men star left you know
It's once around when you meet your own, just box a gnat and then
Pull her by, left allemande, then you weave around that ring
I've got heartaches by the numbers and troubles by the score
Dosado go all the way around, and promenade that floor
Heartaches by the numbers and a love that I can't win
But the day that I stop counting, that's the day my world will end

4 little ladies chain, straight across you do
2 & 4 go up and back, then do a right & left thru (backaway)
Head 2 couples square thru 4 hands around that ring
Face that corner, star thru, then do a dixie chain
You go straight across, the girls turn back and swing a brand new beau
Then allemande left new corner, come back and promeno
Heartaches by the numbers, two hearts should beat as one
Take her home and swing her cause she's heartache number 1
