All four ladies chain across, turn her you know
You roll away and circle left there you go
Four ladies roll away, circle and then
Left allemande and you weave
And it's run for the roses as fast as you can
Swing your lady, promenade her my friend
The chance of a lifetime in a lifetime of chance
It's high time you joined in the dance

Head couples square thru, it's four hands you go
Dosado that corner lady you know
Make an ocean wave and balance, swing thru and then
Boys run, tag the line, cloverleaf
Girls walk in and square thru 3/4 round
Swing that man and promenade him around
Life will prepare you for what lies ahead
In your run for the roses so red

Heads pass the ocean, spin the top from there
Move up and slide thru to face the outside pair
Swing thru go down the line and then the boys run right
Couples circulate, reverse wheel around
Four boys in the middle scoot back (lefty), go two times around
Girls circulate and promenade the one you found
Life will prepare you for what lies ahead
In your run for the roses so red

Heads slide thru, spin the top from there
Move up and slide thru to face the outside pair
Swing thru go down the line and then the boys run right
Couples circulate, reverse wheel around
Four boys in the middle scoot back (lefty), go two times around
Girls circulate and promenade the one you found
Life will prepare you for what lies ahead
In your run for the roses so red

Heads left square thru four hands you go
See saw that corner lady one time you know
Make a left hand wave, boys trade and recycle there
Flutter wheel rollin' round the square, sweep 1/4 more
And then you square thru go three hands around
Swing the corner lady promenade her around
Life will prepare you for what lies ahead
In your run for the roses so red
