You dosado your corner girl
Now see saw round your own
Right to your corner, chain all eight*
Star all eight a right hand star
Back by the left and then
Girls turn back, it's twice around you go
Pass the last one right on by
Pass the next one too
Swing the next, you're doin' mighty fine
Promenade, oh promenade through Dixie
How I wish you would
While the watermelon's hanging on the vine

Now 1 & 3 you'll promenade just half around the town
Lead to the right, do a right & left thru
We'll turn the girls around
Sheer to the right, gents hook with the left
You'll weather vane around
The heads star right out in the center lane
Now allemande left your corner, pass right by your own
Swing the next, you're doin' mighty fine
Promenade, oh promenade through Dixie
With your Southern belle
While the watermelon's hanging on the vine

*Chain All Eight: Gents extend right hands to the corner ladies, pull 'em by.
Left hands to the next girl. Courtesy turn the girls into position.
