Circle left
I'm the official historian on Shirley Jean Berrell
Walk all around the corner and see saw your taw
The gents star by the right hand, go once round the land
Left allemande the corner and you weave around the ring
I can tell you her birthday and her daddy's middle name
Dosado your partner and promenade and sing
I caught her the first time she stumbled and fell
And Shirley she knows me just as well

Heads (sides) promenade halfway round
Down the middle and do a right & left thru
Square thru in the middle, count four hands
Get to the corner do a right and left thru, veer left,
Ferris wheel in time, centers pass thru
Swing the corner, promenade
*Singing peace in the valley and preaching up a storm
(*First two figures)

*Your cheatin' heart will tell on you (Third figure)

*Like a piece of driftwood on the sea, may you never be alone like me
(Fourth figure)

Four ladies promenade go once around the ring
Get back home and swing with your man
Join hands, circle to the left go round the ring
Left allemande the corner, weave the ring
From the mountains to the prairies
Dosado, promenade
God bless America, my home sweet home
