Join hands and circle to the left go round the ring now
Reverse trail, walk in single file
Girls back track and then when you meet 'em turn thru there
Left allemande the corner, weave the ring
You promised that you would love me and always be true
Swing the partner round and round, and promenade 'em too
I traded a lifetime of joy for a few careless moments
That you were just wasting that day

Those head 2 you square thru 4 hands around that ring now
With the corner lady do a dosado
Slide thru then pass thru, do a partner trade and then
Reverse the flutter wheel across the ring you go
Ladies lead, do a dixie style to an ocean wave
Trade the wave, boys run right around one girl,
now promenade
I traded a heart full of love for a handful of kisses
That you were just throwing away
