1 & 3 you promenade halfway with your maid
Sides square thru 4 hands around and then
Go right & left thru that outside two, turn a girl and dive thru
Pass thru, left allemande and weave the ring
Sweet magnolia fragrance is all around your maid
Dosado and then you promenade
Well the honeysuckle vine keep a clingin' all the time
As you dance with your Alabama maid

Head ladies chain 3/4 round, side men turn 'em with an arm around
Head men take your corner into the middle and back
Box the gnat across from you, go right & left thru and turn 'em too
Join 8 hands, circle left around that track
Why don't you allemande left your corner, then a grand ole right & left
Meet each lady with a great big smile
*Promenade and hold 'em tight beneath the pale moonlight
As you dance with her Alabama style

1 & 3 you promenade halfway with your maid
Sides square thru 4 hands around and then
Go right & left thru that outside two, turn a girl and dive thru
Pass thru, left allemande and weave the ring
Sweet magnolia fragrance is all around your maid
Dosado and then you promenade
Well the maple sugar drips from her sweet and tender lips
As you dance with your Alabama maid

1 & 3 you promenade halfway with your maid
Sides square thru 4 hands around and then
Go right & left thru that outside two, turn a girl and dive thru
Pass thru, left allemande and weave the ring
Sweet magnolia fragrance is all around your maid
Dosado and then you promenade
When you're home around the ring get a good old fashion swing
Cause you love to hold that Alabama maid
