Go to the left with the old left hand
Back to your partner with a right hand swing
Men to the center with a left hand star
Back by the right and pick up your maid
Walk right around in a star promenade.
Gents swing out and the ladies in,
With a full turn around, your gone again.
Gents turn back on the outside track,
Meet your own with a right hand round.
Go full around, all the way round.
Then to your corner with a left hand round,
Half way round come back to your own,
Turn your partner right hand around,
All the way round, all the way
To the right hand lady with a left hand turn,
Half way round come back to your own
Turn by the right go all the way round,
Now go to the corner with a left allemande,
Right to your partner and right and left grand.
Meet your partner and pat her on the head,
If she don*t like biscuits, give her corn bread.
Then promenade, boys, promenade.
