Circle left
*I met a girl out in the hills who gave my lonely heart a thrill
Her beauty seemed just like a breath of spring
Men star right and go, once around the ring you know
Allemande left and weave
**I heard the bluebirds sing
They sang of wondering, if you love her
Will she marry, if you ask her
Will her heart beat, true for him
For then and ever more (Swing and promenade)
***And when she's lonely, is he near her
When there's sadness, will he cheer her
Will they always, be together
Until the end of time
ALTERNATE LYRICS
*I courted her for months on end, until she promised we would wed
We planned on being married in the spring
**I heard the bluebirds sing
They sang of waiting, for the flowers
And of counting, every hour
Till the bluebird, brings his welcome
Into the world once more (Swing and promenade)
***And though we're waiting, for the sunshine
We keep hating, every storm cloud
That has gathered, on the mountain
To keep us far apart
*And when at last spring touched the earth, we were married in the village church
Our wedding seemed just like a dream come true
**I heard the bluebirds sing
They sang of loving, every hour
That I'm married, to my flower
We'll be happy, ever after (Swing and promenade)
***And though we're older, love is sweeter
We grow fonder, of each other
We'll be sweethearts, close together
Until the end of time
FIGURE Mainstream, corner progression
Head pair promenade halfway round the ring I say
Down the middle and square thru 4, all the way and when you're there
Right & left thru the outside pair
Pass thru, trade by, touch 1/4
Scoot back and then, scoot back again
Swing the corner and promenade my friend (full)
+And when she's lonely, is he near her
When there's sadness, will he cheer her
Will they always, be together
Until the end of time
ALTERNATE LYRICS
+Although we're waiting, for the sunshine
We keep hating, every storm cloud
That has gathered, on the mountain
To keep us far apart
