Walk all around that corner, see saw round your taw
4 ladies chain, straight across that hall
Chain the ladies home, swing the girls around
Sides face, grand square that hall, go
Oh bayou, my baby on the bayou tonight
To the katydids serenade, my cherie-oh sleep tonight
Reverse
And dream of tomorrow when the fishin' is through
I'll fly o'er that bayou to you

1 & 3 you promenade go half around that ring
Into the middle do a dosado, once around and then
Star thru and pass thru and do an eight chain thru
I'll fly o'er that bayou to you
Oh bayou, my baby on the bayou tonight
Swing the corner lady, promenade and hold her tight
We'll dream of tomorrow, when the fishin' is through
I'll fly o'er that bayou to you
