Forest Lawn | (Square Tunes 1100) Tony Simmons |
OPENER Mainstream
Circle left
Lay me down in Forest Lawn in a silver casket
Put golden flowers over my head in a silver basket
Do an allemande left you know, turn thru at home and go
Left allemande and you weave the ring and go
I want to go simply when I go
Swing your own and promenade
With a casket lined in fleece
Fireworks spelling out REST IN PEACE
Take me when I'm gone to Forest Lawn
FIGURE Mainstream, corner progression
Heads (Sides) promenade go half way
Walk into the middle and pass the ocean there, extend
Swing thru you know, spin the top and go
Boys move up go right & left thru, turn the girl and go
Straight across, touch 1/4, girls run right
Swing that man and you promenade
*(1) I'll rest in peace you know
With piped in tapes from Marshall Flippo
Take me when I'm gone to Forest Lawn
ALTERNATE LYRICS
*(2) I'll rest in peace I think
With piped in tapes from Gary Shoemake
*(3) I'll rest beneath the flowers
With piped in tapes from Ken Bowers
*(4) I'll be there you see
Listening to tapes from Jerry Story
MIDDLE BREAK Mainstream
Sides face grand square
A simple resting place is my desire
Lay me down with a smiling face comes even higher
Bury me in a square, I'll dance in comfort there
While the Red Boot Boys sing to square dancers with golden wings
Do an allemande left with the corner, turn thru and go
Left allemande come home and you promenade
I'll rest beneath the alter
With piped in tapes from, Glenn Walters
Take me when I'm gone to Forest Lawn
CLOSER Mainstream
Circle left
Lay me down in Forest Lawn, I understand there
They have a heavenly caller and a square dance band there
Do an allemande left, turn thru and go
Left allemande and weave that ring and go
Swing your own, promenade you know
I'll be there you know
Still waiting to hear from Tony O
Take me when I'm gone to Forest Lawn
