OPENER

CIRCLE LEFT
It was the third of June
On that summer's day
ALL THE MEN STAR RIGHT ONE TIME tonight
And do a LEFT ALLEMANDE & you WEAVE
And she came to me...just like a morning sun

And it wasn't so much...her words as such

As the way they were sung

FIGURE (mainstream)

HEADS (SIDES) PROMENADE HALFWAY round...the ring you know
Walk in and SQUARE THRU FOUR HANDS 'round and then
RIGHT & LEFT THRU and turn the girl my friend
You VEER TO THE LEFT & COUPLES CIRCULATE
CHAIN DOWN THE LINE
Keep that girl & PROMENADE her
Home until the morning light

Sweet Desiree...you made it right

BREAK

CIRCLE LEFT
Then came the fourth of June

On that sleepless night
ALL THE MEN STAR RIGHT ONE TIME tonight
And do a LEFT ALLEMANDE & you WEAVE
For she was there and gone...without one regret
But she continues on...like the words of a song
I could not forget

CLOSER

SIDES FACE GRAND SQUARE
Oh Desiree...Oh Desiree

There I was found

By the sweet passion sound
Of your loving song...time was right
LEFT ALLEMANDE & you WEAVE

Oh Desire...Oh Desiree
Somehow I knew I could only have you until the morning light

Sweet desiree...you make it right

TAG

Desire...Oh desiree
