OPENER - BREAK - CLOSER

Circle left
 When we made our plans to tie the knot
    My friends they all laughed at me a lot 
Allemande left with the corner, turn the partner right
Left allemande and then you weave that ring
 Well love don't feel like a ball and chain to me 
Swing your girl and then you promenade you see
 If you are my jailer darlin - throw away the key
 Love don't feel like a ball and chain to me 

FIGURE

Head/side 2 couples promenade 1/2 way
Come down the middle square thru 4 I say
4 hands and then, do the right & left thru
Veer to the left & the couples circulate by two's
1/2 tag, scoot back, and scoot back again
Swing on the corner lady, promenade my friend
 If you are my jailer darlin - throw away the key
 Love don't feel like a ball and chain to me
