4 ladies promenade go once around that ring
Get back home and swing your own, now everybody swing
You'll join hands and circle to the left go round that hall
Do an allemande left corner girl
You're gonna weave the ring you all
Oh, take me to the river honey, set me on that sand
Swing your lady go round and round and promenade that land
Oh, how I long to feel the comfort of a country breeze
Take me to the river and honey set me free

Head (side) couples promenade go halfway round that hall
Walk into the middle and square thru and count 4 hands you go
4 hands around and then you touch 1/4 there
You scoot back, go in, come out and boys run around that girl
You star thru, pass thru, trade by and swing
Swing that corner there and promenade that ring
Oh, how I long to feel the comfort of a country breeze
Take me to the river and honey set me free

Sides face, grand square
Take me to the river honey, set me on that sand
Underneath a tall pine tree with a cane pole in my hand
Oh, how I long to feel the comfort of a country breeze
Take me to the river and honey set me free
4 ladies promenade go once around that ring
Gonna get back home, swing your own and promenade again
Oh, how I long to feel the comfort of a country breeze
Take me to the river and honey set me free

Everybody swing 'em twice please
Oh, take me to the river and honey set me free
