Walk all around that corner, turn the partner left and then
4 old men star by the right, one time around that ring
Star promenade with the partner, go walking around the land
The girls turn back, left allemande, and weave around that ring
Where were you when the ship hit the sand
Meet your girl and promenade around the land
Promenade back home again, then everybody sing
Where were you when the ship hit the sand

Head 2 couples dosado, go all the way around and then
Star thru and pass thru, and dosado again
Make an ocean wave and balance, all 8 circulate
Go right & left thru and turn 'em
Eight chain thru and don't be late
Where were you when the ship hit the sand
When you meet that corner girl, you're gonna swing
Promenade around that ring, and everybody sing
Where were you when the ship hit the sand
