Four ladies chain go straight across the ring-o
Roll away and circle to the left around the ring go
Four ladies roll away, circle left around that way
Allemande left, then weave around the ring
Old man river, he don't say nothing
Dosado, promenade get a-goin'
Old man river, he just keeps rollin' along, he's rollin' along

Heads square thru 4 hands around the ring go
Do a dosado the corner, one time get a-goin'
Swing thru, go two by two, boys run to the right
1/2 tag, trade and roll, look her in the eye
Slide thru, then a right & left thru, take a full turn and a little bit more
Keep her, promenade, get a-goin'
Old man river, he just keeps rollin' along, he's rollin' along

Teacup chain
You and me, we sweat and strain
Body all achin and wracked with pain
Tote that barge, life that bale
Get a little drunk and you land in jail
Four ladies chain straight across the ring go
Chain 'em back, promenade and get a-goin'
Old man river, he just keeps rollin' along, he's rollin' along
