Join your hands and make a ring, circle left like everything
Allemande left, come back and promenade
Gents roll in a left faced whirl, promenade a brand new girl
Back right out and circle eight you do
Girls rollaway grand right & left, around the ring you go
Meet your honey with a dosado and promenade her home
*Promenade go 'round the ring, get along home and swing
You can call her on the Coon Creek party line

1 & 3 (2 & 4) right & left thru, turn your girl, star thru
Pass thru, split that ring around just one ... make a line
Forward eight and back you whirl, star thru California twirl
Dive thru, square thru 3/4 'round
Split that ring around one into the middle you go
Star thru, pass thru, swing this girl and promeno
Oh, the wind began to roar and the rain began to pour
Then the lightning struck the Coon Creek party line

1 & 3 (2 & 4) right & left thru, turn your girl, star thru
Pass thru, split that ring around just one ... make a line
Forward eight and back you whirl, star thru California twirl
Dive thru, square thru four hands you do
Count to four, then separate, round one in the middle you go
Pass thru, swing this gal, take her hand and promeno
It was sure an awful thing, not a single phone could ring
When the lightning struck the Coon Creek party line

1 & 3 (2 & 4) right & left thru, turn your girl, star thru
Pass thru, split that ring around just one ... make a line
Forward eight and back you whirl, star thru California twirl
Dive thru, square thru five hands you do
Oh the smoke and splinters flew, dosado the outside two
Dosado and then you swing, promenade go 'round the ring
Pa said Aunt Lizzie swore when it knocked her to the floor
When the lightning struck the Coon Creek party line

1 & 3 (2 & 4) right & left thru, turn your girl, star thru
Pass thru, split that ring around just one ... make a line
Forward eight and back you whirl, star thru California twirl
Dive thru, square thru six hands you do ...
Oh the smoke and splinters flew, then that wire snapped in two
U-turn back and star thru, swing this gal that's facin' you
Promenade her right on home and keep her for your own
You got her number on the Coon Creek party line

Join your hands and make a ring, circle left like everything
Allemande left, come back and promenade
Gents roll in a left faced whirl, promenade a brand new girl
Back right out and circle eight you do
Girls rollaway grand right & left, around the ring you go
Meet your honey with a dosado and promenade her home
You can bet your bottom dollar things ain't been just like they oughter
Since the lightning struck the Coon Creek party line
