Allemande left your Corner, Turn the Partner Right
Allemande once again, Weave the Ring tonight
Oh–oh, Down On Old Plank Road, we'll eat potluck and pull guitars
Swing and Promenade
Oh–oh, Down On Old Plank Road, we'll eat potluck and pull guitars
Down On Old Plank Road

I work all day with wood and steel, paper, ink and lead
Trying to figure out what's real and what's just in my head
...
Oh-oh, Down on Old Plank Road, I throw the ax into the truck
Down On Old Plank Road
Oh-oh, Down on Old Plank Road, I throw the ax into the truck
Down on Old Plank Road

Four ladies Promenade, they sing so good together,
Come on home Swing ! he just, keeps getting better,
Join your hands and Circle, as light as a feather
Allemande your corner, Weave the Ring is like a feather
Oh-oh, Down on Old Plank Road and Johnny's every body's man
Swing and Promenade
Oh-oh, Down on Old Plank Road and Johnny's everybody's man
Down on Old Plank Road

Heads Square Thru Four hands around,
With your Corner girl, DoSaDo right here, Swing Thru and then,
Spin the Top for me, Boys move up Single Hinge, Girls run,
Square thru – Three, on the 3rd hand – Box the Gnat,
Swing that Corner and Promenade
Oh–oh, Down On Old Plank Road, croon and howl and yodel
Down On Old Plank Road
