Sides face, grand square
*I was just a poor boy who lived on forty acres of bad land
I remember how she laughed the day I asked Joanna for her hand
Circle left
She called me a plowboy and said she couldn't love the likes of me
Left allemande and promenade
Back then we didn't know I would soon discover Texas Tea

(Middle Break)
*Where once stood my cabin, I live in a Southern mansion now
I gaze at the oil wells, standin' on the ground I used to plow

Yes, there's someone comin', I think it's Joanna that I see

Well I haven't seen her since back before I found my Texas Tea

(Closer)
*You're welcome, Joanna, it's always good to see an old, old friend
Yes, I still remember I loved you and I begged you for your hand

But I'm just a plowboy, you said you couldn't love the likes of me

So goodbye Joanna, I've got to see about my Texas Tea

Heads (sides) promenade halfway round the ring you're gonna go
2 & 4 (1 & 3) go right & left thru,
Square thru and go 4 hands around you know
Right & left thru, turn the girl
Slide thru and load the boat
That corner swing and promenade
Back then we didn't know I would soon discover Texas Tea
