Circle left
*As I sit and think of Dixie, cotton fields, and whippoorwills
My happy childhood among the rocks and among the rills
Now the men star by the right and roll it once around
Do an allemande left with the ol' left hand and weave on around
I - E - O - Lay - E
Meet a lady and promenade
***You could hear the people singing 'round the campfire soft and low
On the farm in Louisiana where that old red river flows
ALTERNATE LYRICS
*The lights are bright on Broadway, the city's fair as day
And the beach on Coney Island, those salt warm breezes play
**I'm headed south tonight, on a highway as she goes
To my farm in Louisiana where that old red river flows
***Well, I can see my dear old mother as around the farm she goes
On the farm in Louisiana where that old red river flows
FIGURE
Head (side) couples square thru, four hands you know
And around the corner gal, you dosado
Swing thru, and now boys trade, boys run
You ferris wheel, now the center two veer left
Veer right, all veer right
Keep that corner girl and promenade
**In the twilight of the evening, 'round the old campfire glow
On the farm in Louisiana where that old red river flows
TAG
On the farm in Louisiana where that old red river flows
