All join hands, circle left from where you are
Put your right hand in, make a right hand star
Gents reach back, pull 'em thru, promenade like sin
Better call the sheriff, 'cause Rosie's gone again

Allemande left your corner, right elbow round your taw
Left elbow swing the corner, promenade the hall
Promenade the circle and wear a nasty grin
Better call the sheriff, 'cause Rosie's gone again

Promenade your partner, lady lead single file
Swing the girl behind you paw, everybody smile
Promenade with Rosie, let's all sing it, men
Better call the sheriff, 'cause Rosie's gone again

All join hands, circle left around the ring
Turn the corner under, give this gal a swing
Promenade this lady and wear a big 'ol grin
Better call the sheriff, 'cause Rosie's gone again

All around your corner, 1/2 sashay your own
Resashay go all the way, now promenade your own
Promenade with Rosie, she's long, tall, and thin
Better call the sheriff, 'cause Rosie's gone again

Promenade with Rosie, don't you dare slow down
Gents roll back, promenade the corner gal around
Keep on promenadin', guess we'll never win
Better call the sheriff, 'cause Rosie's gone again

All join hands, circle left around the ring
Ladies roll across, give the new girl a swing
Promenade 'ol Rosie, she's everybody's kin
Better call the sheriff, 'cause Rosie's gone again

All around your corner, left hand swing your taw
Box the gnat with the corner, promenade the hall
Promenade with Rose, she's a man's best friend
Better call the sheriff, 'cause Rosie's gone again

Allemande left your corner, give your own a swing
Swing her round and round, promenade the ring
Promenade with Rosie, all you girls grin
Better call the sheriff, 'cause Rosie's gone again

All join hands, circle left around the land
Swing a girl, any girl, on either hand
This 'ol record's running out, I hope you're still my friend
Promenade right to her seat, 'cause Rosie's gone again
