Circle left
Just about a year ago
I set out on the road
Walk around the corner and see saw your girl
Allemande the corner and ya weave the ring
Things got bad...things got worse
I guess you will know the tune
Oh Lord...stuck in Lodi again

Heads (sides) pass thru & promenade halfway
The sides (heads) square thru four hands
All the way and do a right & left thru, turn the girl
Touch 1/4, split circulate
Boys fold, girls chain straight across the ring again
Keep her and promenade my friend
Oh Lord...stuck in Lodi again

Circle left
The man from the magazine
Said I was on my way
Walk around the corner and see saw your girl
Allemande the corner and ya weave the ring
I came into town...a one night stand
Looks like my plans fell through
Oh Lord...I'm stuck in Lodi again

Circle left
Just about a year ago
I set out on the road
Walk all around the corner and see saw your girl
Allemande left on the corner and ya weave the ring
You know I'd catch the next train
Back to where I live
Oh Lord...I'm stuck in Lodi again

Swing her boys
Oh Lord...stuck in Lodi again
