OPENER
Join hands Circle by
the old mill stream
Up That
lazy hazy river where we both can dream
Men Star Right move it
one time around
Pass your Partner find the Corner, Allemande Left and Weave that Ring
Linger in
the shade of an old oak tree
You Swing your own around and Promenade
go around the ring
Throw away
your troubles, dream a dream with me
If you go
up that lazy river with me

ORIGINAL LYRICS
Yeah, haa haa, so, haa haa,
wait on wait on
Up lazy river where the old mill run
Meet the lazy river with the noon day sun
Linger in the shade of a kind ole tree
Throw away your troubles, dream a dream of me, dream a dream of me
Up the lazy river where the robin's sung
Wakes to bright new mornin', as we live along
Blue skies up above everyone in love
Up the lazy river, how happy we will be, mama mama?
Ohh, Up a lazy river
Ohh, you've gone
Boy, my river my long river
Up the lazy river, hmm river, ohh you river
Ohh, you've gone
Ohh you river
You got that John Alexander
Swing out there on your ma's river boy
