Sides face grand square
*It was Sunday morning, I was seven years old
In the backyard playing in a big mud hole
I was all decked out, ready for church
Allemande your corner girl, weave the ring
Mama hit the ceiling, she was fit to be tied
Swing your little girl, promenade her awhile
But Daddy was laughing when I changed my clothes
Saying "Mama, leave the boy alone

Heads (Sides) promenade halfway around you go
Down the middle, pass the ocean you know
Extend and then swing thru my friend
Boys run to the right, couples circulate
Ferris wheel double pass thru
Leaders trade, swing that corner, promenade her too
Mama's little boy gonna have a lot of fun
Cause he's gonna live forever if the good die young

Circle left
If the good die young
Lord, if the good die young
Men star right one time, son
Allemande your corner and weave it you run
Cause if the good die young, oh if the good die young
Swing and promenade
Pedal to the metal, let your motor run
Cause I am going to live forever if the good die young

Sides face grand square
Well, I got a good heart, I wouldn't hurt a soul
But I'm gonna keep rocking till they call that roll
Ole St. Peter, he's gonna have to wait
Allemande that corner girl and weave the ring
Cause if the good die young, oh if the good die young
Swing and promenade
Pedal to the metal, let your motor run
Cause I'm a gonna live forever if the good die young
