Circle left
Won't you come along with me, come along with me
To the Mississippi, to the Mississippi
Left allemande, you do a dosado
Men star left, turn it one time you go
Turn thru at home now, left allemande the corner
Swing and promenade her, promenade your lady
Promenade your lady to the land of dreams
Steaming down the river down to New Orleans

Heads promenade halfway around you go
Walk in square thru 4 hands you know
Four hands and then a right & left thru
Veer to the left, ferris wheel
Come on around, here's the deal
Square thru 3, the corner one you swing
Swing this lady around, promenade that old ring
Promenade on home, you've got the Basin Street Blues
