Circle left
It was the third of June
On that summer's day
All the men star right one time tonight
And do a left allemande and you weave
And she came to me just like a morning sun
And it wasn't so much her words as such
As the way they were sung

Heads (Sides) promenade halfway round the ring you know
Walk in and square thru 4 hands 'round and then
Right & left thru and turn the girl my friend
You veer to the left and couples circulate
Chain down the line
Keep that girl and promenade her
Home until the morning light
Sweet Desiree...you made it right

Circle left
Then came the fourth of June
On that sleepless night
All the men star right one time tonight
And do a left allemande and you weave
For she was there and gone without one regret
But she continues on like the words of a song
I could not forget

Sides face grand square
Oh Desiree...Oh Desiree
There I was found
By the sweet passion sound
Of your loving song, time was right
Left allemande and you weave
Oh Desire...Oh Desiree
Somehow I knew I could only have you until the morning light
Sweet Desiree...you make it right
