Circle left
*There's a wild Colonial boy, Jack Duggan was his name
He was born and raised in Ireland, in a place called Castlemaine
Allemande left with the corner girl, turn the partner by the right
Boys star left in the middle one time, movin' round tonight
Gonna meet your partner, turn 'er by the right, and look for the corner girl
Do an allemande left with the corner, and you promenade again
He was his father's only son, his mother's pride and joy
And dearly did his parents love that wild Colonial boy
ALTERNATE LYRICS
*At the early age of sixteen years he left his native home
And to Australia's sunny shore, that's where he did roam
*One morning on the prairie as Jackie rode along
A-listenin' to a mockingbird, a-singin' a cheerful song
FIGURE Mainstream, corner progression
Heads promenade and travel halfway 'round you go
Come down the middle, square thru, 4 hands around he roamed
To the outside pair, touch 1/4, scoot back
Boy run around that girl, lines, up to the middle and back
You star thru and then, pass thru, trade by
Swing that corner girl and you promenade tonight
He was his father's only son, his mother's pride and joy
And dearly did his parents love that wild Colonial boy
TAG
