Circle left
Let me tell you a story of a man named Charlie
On a tragic and fateful day
Left allemande the corner, come back a dosado
And do a left allemande, weave the ring
Will he ever return, no he'll never return
Swing the lady round and you promenade
(Poor ole Charlie)
He may ride forever 'neath the streets of Boston
He's the man who'll never return

Well now those heads (sides) promenade
You travel 1/2 way round that ring
While the sides square thru and a get me 4
Go all the way and do the right & left thru
Eight chain 6 across the floor
Will he ever return, no he'll never return
Swing the lady round and you promenade
(Poor ole Charlie)
He may ride forever 'neath the streets of Boston
He's the man who'll never return

4 ladies promenade you go walkin round the floor
Get on back and you swing the man you know
You join your hands, you circle to the left
Go walkin' round that set and do a left allemande
Weave the ring
Will he ever return, no he'll never return
Swing the lady round and you promenade
(Poor ole Charlie)
He may ride forever 'neath the streets of Boston
He's the man who'll never return
