Circle left
*She's a rock slide in my highway, she's a mud hole in my yard
Four ladies chain 3/4 and you turn that girl I say
Now join your hands and circle to the left go moving round
Now roll away half sashay, the men star right around
Left allemande your corner and you weave around the ring
Go in and out around, when you meet you promenade
She's a constant irritation, like an itch that I can't scratch
All in all, she's a big old pain in my past

Heads you promenade and go half way round the ring
Sides pass the ocean, extend and then
You spin chain thru, now the girls circulate once
Move right up and then, you hinge
Well scoot back and then, scoot back again
Swing your corner lady and you promenade my friend
She's a constant irritation, like an itch that I can't scratch
All in all, she's just a big old pain in my past

*She's a turn of wrong direction, a mistake that I have made

*She's a treasure that I wanted, but a debt that I have paid

Four ladies chain across, you turn and chain 'em back
Cause all in all, she's just a big old pain in my past
