Sides face grand square
Adalida pretty little Cajun queen
Sweet Dixie flower the Bell of the Bayou
You're every young man's dream
Four ladies promenade inside the ring
Back home swing and promenade
Just to stand beside my sweet Adalida
I'd swim the Pontchartrain

Heads promenade halfway around that ring
Come down the middle, touch 1/4, boys run
All touch 1/4, walk & dodge
Partner trade and then a right & left thru
Flutter wheel straight across, and then slide thru
Swing and promenade
Just to stand beside my sweet Adalida
I'd swim the Pontchartrain

Sides face grand square
Oh no, here she comes down the road
With your cotton dress a swishing
You are getting some attention
From all the boys in Thibodaux
Four ladies promenade inside that ring
Swing and promenade
Just to stand beside my sweet Adalida
I'd swim the Pontchartrain

Sides face grand square
Oh my you're really filling up my eyes
Smiling and a grinning and I know what you are thinking
But I'm the only one who loves you so
Four ladies promenade inside the ring
Back home swing and promenade
Just to stand beside my sweet Adalida
I'd swim the Pontchartrain
