Four boys promenade go once inside the ring
Get back home and swing your girl one time round you go
You join hands and circle left you go
Allemande your corner girl and weave around the ring
Far away the river flows forever on
The sun goes down and the waves roll back the tide (or swing and promenade)
Yesterday is done and my time has come
Far away I'm on the run

Heads square thru and go 4 hands round you know
And when you're there do a dosado
One time around you go
You swing thru two by two, let the boys run right
Tag the line and cloverleaf around the ring tonight
Girls square thru and go 3/4 round you know
Swing your boy and promenade him home and go
The good time I've had plenty in this race that I have run
I stand across the water far away I'm on the run

Heads face, grand square
Far away the river flows forever on
The sun goes down and the waves roll back the tide
Yesterday is done and my time has come
Far away I'm on the run
Allemande left and weave
Far away the river flows forever on
The sun goes down and the waves roll back the tide (or swing and promenade)
Yesterday is done and my time has come
Far away I'm on the run
