Sides
face, grand square
Take me back to New Orleans
Take me back to where that music's playin'
You never know what it means, boy
Take me back to New Orleans
Allemande and weave
Bring a plate of rice and beans
Serve me up a mess of jambalaya
Swing, promenade
You never know what it means, boy
Take me back to New Orleans

Heads

All the way and dosado
Swing thru, the boys run right
Bend the line, a right & left thru
Flutter wheel go

Slide thru, swing and all promenade
Take me where that music plays
Before I go insane

All the way and dosado

Boys cross run, swing and all promenade
Take me where that music plays
Before I go...
