All 4 ladies chain & then you rollaway
Join hands, circle to the left that way
4 ladies rollaway, circle left I say
Allemande left & weave the ring
Ah, man, see what you've done
Dosado and promenade her son
You've ruined the garden where you used to run
A long time ago

Heads (sides) square thru 4 hands around you go
Around the corner lady, do a dosado
Swing thru & then the boys run right
Couples circulate & wheel & deal tonight
Pass thru, trade by, your corner you swing
Left allemande new corner, promenade the ring
You've ruined the garden where you used to run
A long time ago

Sides face grand sweep (or grand spin)
A long time ago when man was just a boy
He lived in a garden full of happiness and joy
He lived side by side with creatures great & small
And the earth was good to them all
Ah, man, see what you've done
You broke up the party & spoiled all the fun
You've ruined the garden where you used to run
A long time ago
