Circle left *By the time I get to Phoenix, she'll be risin'
She'll find the note I left hangin' on her door Left allemande your corner, come back you dosado
The men star left one time around Turn your partner by the right, you go left allemande
Come back and then you promenade the ring **She'll laugh when she reads that I'm leavin'
Cause I've left that girl so many times before
FIGURE
The heads you promenade oh, go halfway Walk insquare thru and go
4 hands around and then, go right & left thru again Veer left and then you ferris wheel Square thru 3 hands around now
You swing that lady there and promenade She'll laugh when she reads that I'm leavin'
Cause I've left that girl so many times before
MIDDLE BREAK
Four ladies chain across the ring now Roll the girl away and circle left Four ladies roll away, you circle round that way Left allemande and weave the ring
Wind in and out around the ring you go now
You swing your lady there and promenade She'll laugh when she reads that I'm leavin'
Cause I've left that girl so many times before

*By the time I make Oklahoma she'll be sleepin'
She'll turn and call my name out low
