Walk around that corner, come back a dopaso
Turn your partner left, corner by the right, partner left elbow
Make an allemande thar, the boys swing in, you back it down the line
Slip the clutch, left allemande and weave on down the line
Gather up the kids and all the family
Swing and whirl the pretty girl, promenade for me
Singing carols soft and low, shoutin' out the cotton-eyed Joe
Roll back the rug so we can two-step 'round the Christmas tree

Head two you square thru, you go and a get about four you know
Around the corner lady there and do a dosado
Swing thru, you go two-by-two, spin the top for me
Boy move up, a right & left thru and turn the girl you see
Square thru and you go now, 3/4 around in time
Swing the girl 'round and 'round and promenade her home
Singing carols soft and low, shoutin' out the cotton-eyed Joe
Roll back the rug so we can two-step 'round the Christmas tree
