Circle left
Hey, wait 'til the sun shines Nellie
When the clouds go drifting by
You walk around that corner girl, now see-saw your own
And you allemande that corner girl, now weave around that ring
Hey, down Lover's Lane we'll wander
Swing and whirl that girl and promenade that ring
Why don't you wait 'til the sun shines Nellie
In the sweet by and by

Well now those heads square thru and take 'em 4 hands around
Hey, round the corner lady dosado and make a wave
You swing thru and then let those boys run right
You bend the line and then right & left thru
Turn the girl, you flutter wheel around and now
Slide thru, single circle, rear back, you swing and promenade
Why don't you wait 'til the sun shines Nellie
In the sweet by and by

Circle left
Hey, wait 'til the sun shines Nellie
When the clouds go drifting by
You walk around that corner girl, now see-saw your own
And now the men star by the left hand you roll it along
You turn the partner by the right, go left allemande

Why don't you wait 'til the sun shines Nellie
In the sweet by and by

Well now, those 4 boys promenade 'em one time around
Gonna get back home and swing and whirl round you go
