two columns

OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER    Basic

Allemande left the corner girl
Turn a right hand around your baby
Men star left 3/4 round
Swing that corner lady
Swing her once, just one time
Then allemande left once more
Pass by one, take your own
Promenade around the floor
Fare thee well, fare thee well
Fare thee well my fairy Faye
I'm off to Louisiana to see my Suzyanna
Swinging polly wolly doodle all day


FIGURE    Mainstream, unknown progression

Four ladies chain across the square
Turn this pretty Sue
Head two couples separate
Behind the sides star thru
The inside two pass thru
Start an eight chain four
Count 4 hands, pull on by
Then swing and whirl once more
Fare thee well, fare thee well
Promenade my fairy Faye
I'm off to Louisiana to see my Suzyanna
Swinging polly wolly doodle all day
