Four ladies promenade go once around the ring
Get on home, swing there with your man
Join hands, circle left go walkin' round the set
Left allemande, weave the ring
I've got the world by the tail and a rainbow 'round my shoulder
Do a dosado and promenade
I work eight hours to draw my pay and try to do some good each day
And I'm happy every day I live

Those heads promenade go halfway round the ring
Come down the middle and do the right & left thru
Square thru in the middle and count to four, four hands around that floor
Swing thru the outside two, boys run
Do a ferris wheel and then those centers pass thru
Swing the corner girl and promenade
Some folks may wonder why I'm here, but I hope I live a thousand years
And I'm happy every day I live

Those heads promenade go halfway round the ring
Come down the middle and do the right & left thru
Square thru in the middle and count to four, four hands around that floor
Curlique the outside two, follow your neighbor go
Left allemande, come back a dosado
Swing your corner girl and promenade
I work eight hours to draw my pay and try to do some good each day
And I'm happy every day I live
