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.
