Join hands and form a ring, you circle round the town
Swing the corner go round
Allemande left, allemande thar, go right & left and star
Men back in and make a star
Slip the clutch, left allemande, go right & left grand
When you meet, you promenade the land
Roses of red and violets so blue
Go swinging with a lady, that likes to swing with you

1 & 3 (2 & 4) promenade halfway you go
4 ladies chain straight across you go
And now the heads square thru 4 hands will do
And with the sides you do a dosado
Right & left thru, turn the girl and then you swing
Then promenade this lady round the ring
Roses of red and violets so blue
Go swinging with a lady, that likes to swing with you
