join 8 hands, circle left way down the valley
move along, now the men star right around
to the corner allemande, then go forward two
right and a left, now turn back 4
count 'em off & you pull by the 4th one
swing the next, and then you promenade
 but remember the red rivr valley
    and the girl that has loved you so true 

figure

now the head ladies chain and you turn 'em
heads/sides square thru & go 4 hands around
swing thru the outside two & then the boys will run
bend the line, go forward 8 and back
star thru, pass thru, and swing the corner
left allemande, come back and promenade
* for they say you are taking the sunshine
     that brightens our pathway awhile 

* oh, think of the fond heart you're breaking
     and the grief you are causing me
