6Cross and step on right in front of left

1Side step to the right
2&3Sailor step (cross behind with left, side right, in place left)
4&5Sailor step (cross behind right, side left, in place right)
6&7Sailor step (cross behind with left, side right, in place left)
8&Sailor step (cross behind right, side left)

You can also double up the timing 1&2&3&4&5&6&7&8&1. Some of the song feels like you should only do the regular sailors mentioned in the 5th count of 8 and other times it feels like it should be syncopated. Syncopate in the chorus and regular time the verse
