Circle left
Seven lonely days and a dozen towns ago
I reached out one night and you were gone
Left allemande you know, dosado ya go
Left allemande and weave the ring
Kentucky rain keeps pouring down
Another town that I'll be walkin' thru
With the rain in my shoes, searching for you
In the cold Kentucky rain

Heads you promenade go half around I say
Walk in and square thru to four now
Go all the way and then, swing thru my friend
Boy run right and ferris wheel
Square thru and go 3/4 round
Swing corner girl and promenade on down
With the rain in my shoes, searching for you
In the cold Kentucky rain

Circle left
So I'm walking in the rain, thumbin' for a ride
On this lonely, Kentucky back road
Left allemande you know, dosado you own
Left allemande and weave the ring
Kentucky rain keeps pouring down
Another town that I'll be walkin' thru
With the rain in my shoes, searching for you
In the cold Kentucky rain

Circle left
Finally got a ride with a preacher man who asked
"Where you bound on such a cold dark afternoon?"
Left allemande you know, dosado you own
Left allemande and weave the ring
Kentucky rain keeps pouring down
Another town that I'll be walkin' thru
With the rain in my shoes, searching for you
In the cold Kentucky rain
