two columns

FIGURE (1)   

Number one cross the floor, split that two, line up four
Up to the middle, bend the line, box the gnat
Pass thru, split two, she'll be waiting for you
Start swinging with baby at home

Number two cross the floor, split that two, line up four
Up to the middle, bend the line, box the gnat
Pass thru, split two, she'll be waiting for you
Start swinging with baby at home

Heads back to back, go 3/4 round the track
Right hand lady box the gnat, wink your eye
Gents promenade, and swing that new maid
You might get her powder all over your tie
Promenade 'em round, and the heads wheel around
Right & left thru and four ladies chain
Promenade 'em and soon, you'll be singing this tune
Walkin' my baby back home

FIGURE (2)   

Sides right & left thru, heads cross trail thru
Round one, when you meet dosado
Back out of the square, take a new girl right there
Go walkin' that baby back home

Heads right & left thru, sides cross trail thru
Round one, when you meet dosado
Back out of the square, take a new girl right there
Go walkin' that baby back home

Sides back to back, go 3/4 round the track
Right hand lady box the gnat, kinda flirt
Gents promenade, and swing that new maid
You might get her powder all over your shirt
Promenade 'em round, and the heads wheel around
Right & left thru and four ladies chain
Promenade 'em and soon, you'll be singing this tune
Walkin' my baby back home

FIGURE (3)   

Number three cross the floor, split that two, line up four
Up to the middle, bend the line, box the gnat
Pass thru, split two, she'll be waiting for you
Start swinging with baby at home

Number four cross the floor, split that two, line up four
Up to the middle, bend the line, box the gnat
Pass thru, split two, she'll be waiting for you
Start swinging with baby at home

Heads back to back, go 3/4 round the track
Right hand lady box the gnat, gee - she's cute
Gents promenade, and swing that new maid
You might get her slippers all over your boots
Promenade 'em round, and the heads wheel around
Right & left thru and four ladies chain
Promenade hand in hand by the bar-be-cue stand
Walkin' my baby back home

FIGURE (4)   

Heads right & left thru, sides cross trail thru
Round one, when you meet dosado
Back out of the square, take a new girl right there
Go walkin' that baby back home

Sides right & left thru, heads cross trail thru
Round one, when you meet dosado
Back out of the square, take a new girl right there
Go walkin' that baby back home

Sides back to back, go 3/4 round the track
Right hand lady box the gnat, wink your eye
Gents promenade, and swing that new maid
You might get her powder all over your tie
Promenade 'em round, and the heads wheel around
Right & left thru and four ladies chain
Promenade after dark, think I'll stop in the park
Walkin' my baby back home
