Sides face, grand square
Way out west where the rain don't fall
I got a job with a company drillin' for oil
Just to make some change living and working on the land
Join hands and circle left now
I quit my job and I left my wife
Do an allemande left with the corner and you all promenade
Just to get away, living and working on the land

Heads square thru four hands around there
Dosado do with the corner one time
Swing thru, boys run right now
As a couple circulate one time, now you ferris wheel
Do a double pass thru, the leaders partner trade
Swing with you corner and you all promenade
Cause it's tough out here living and working on the land

Sides face, grand square
What a change it's been from working that nine to five
How strange it seems...at last I get the feeling that I'm really alive
Four ladies promenade inside the ring
Get back and swing your man and you promenade and go
Because it's tough out here living and working on the land

Sides face, grand square
Well they give you a home made out of fiber cement
You don't need no money cause you don't pay no rent
Four ladies promenade inside the ring
Get back and swing your man and you promenade and go
Well, yeah, it's oh so cheap living and working on the land
There's nothing much to do on a Saturday night

Swing your lady
It's tough out here working and living on the land
