Circle to the left
Well listen to the story 'bout the man who tried
To drink from the river and the river ran dry
Left allemande, come on back a dosado
Left allemande the corner, weave the ring you know
The river of love, the river of love
Swing that girl and promenade like a dove
The river runs wide and the river runs free
The river of love, bring my love to me

Head (side) couples square thru it's four hands you know
Go all the way around then a right & left thru and go
Swing thru tonight, then those boys you run right
Ladies chain down the line and turn the girl in time
Square thru 3, and the corner lady swing
Swing that girl and promenade around the ring
The river runs wide and the river runs free
The river of love, bring my love to me

Four ladies chain go straight across the ring
You turn and chain the ladies right back home again
Join your hands and you circle left you know
Left allemande the corner, weave around you go
The river of love, the river of love
Swing that girl and promenade like a dove
The river runs wide and the river runs free
The river of love, bring my love to me
