INTRO
Join hands and circle left that Riverboat's awaitin'
All aboard, it's time to go
Allemande left the corner girl, turn a right hand round your partner
Men star left around the town, star promenade that gal around
Girls step out and backtrack, same one dosado and then you
Left allemande, come home and promenade
You promenade her
It's up the river we go...
Go forward eight and come on back
FIGURE
4 little ladies chain now
(go straight across the river)
(that paddle wheel's a turnin')
(we're dancin' on the levy)
Chain 'em back and watch 'em go
Put the ladies back to back, men go round the outside track
Get back home, dopaso
Don't you hear the whistle blow
With the corner, box the gnat, and then dosado
Left allemande and come home, promenade
You promenade her
as up the river we go..
I see that riverboat so
BREAK
Join hands and circle, we're churnin' muddy water
Hold her steady as we go
Put the ladies back to back, men go round the outside track
Get back home, dopaso
Don't you hear the whistle blow
With the corner, box the gnat, and then dosado
Left allemande and come home, promenade
You promenade her
as up the river we go..
I see that riverboat so
CLOSER
Join hands and circle, we're sailing up the river
Easy now, don't go aground
Put the ladies back to back, men go round the outside track
Get back home, dopaso
Don't you hear the whistle blow
With the corner, box the gnat, and then dosado
Left allemande and come home, promenade
You promenade her
as up the river we go...
I see that riverboat so
