1 & 3 you'll promenade just half around the town
A right & left thru right down the middle, let's turn 'em full around
Whirl away, we'll separate, go round just one and then
Box the gnat, pull 'er by, your corners allemande
Go right & left around that ring, hurry don't be slow
Meet your lady, give 'er a twirl, all eight promeno
Promenade your baby, keep in time
I've got those square dancin' blues on my mind

Now four little ladies promenade go round this big old ring
Pass your partner, turn the next with a good old elbow swing
The gents star left, a left hand star, go once around and then
Turn your partners by the right, new corners allemande
Go right & left around that ring, hurry don't be slow
Meet your lady, give 'er a twirl, all eight promeno
Promenade your baby, keep in time
I've got those square dancin' blues on my mind
