4 little ladies chain across the ring
Chain 'em back, hear me sing
Circle left, you walk around the town
Men star right, girls backtrack around
Pass partner, left allemande
You weave around the ring, in and out
You dosado and promenade
I lose everything I think I win
Oh, what a lonesome life it's been

1 & 3 lead right, circle 4 hands around
Make a line, go up and back then, and pass thru
U-turn back, pass thru again
Center arch, ends turn in, star thru
Join 8 hands, left allemande, come back and swing
Swing and promenade 'em round the ring all the way
Last night she wore my trinket on her hand
But now she has another man
