I'm Gonna Be A Country Boy Again Buffy Sainte-Marie 1968 | (ESP 749) Bill Harrison |
OPENER Basic - SSD Week 1
Circle left
The rain is falling lightly on the buildings and the cars
I've said goodbye to city friends, department stores and bars
Allemande on the corner, turn partner right
Allemande on the corner, weave the ring
Oh I'm gonna be a country boy again
Swing and promenade
I'm tired of the city life, I'm going home and then
I'm going to be a country boy again
FIGURE Basic, corner progression
Heads (Sides) square thru 4,
Make a right hand star
Star left in the middle
To the same pair, right and left thru, half sashay
Swing a little lady, take her by the hand, now promenade along
**I'm tired of the city life, I'm going home and then
I'm going to be a country boy again
ALTERNATE LYRICS
*But what I know came long ago and not from such as these
Oh I'm gonna be a country boy again
*The one who taught me lessons was the soft wind through the pine
Oh I'm gonna be a country boy again
**The lights of town are at my back my heart is full of stars
And I'm gonna be a country boy again
**With an old brown dog, a big front porch
And rabbits in the pen
I'm gonna be a country boy again
MIDDLE BREAK Basic - SSD Week 1
I've spent some time in study, I've taken my degree
I've memorized my formula, I've learned my A B C's
Allemande left, turn partner right
Allemande on the corner, weave the ring
Oh I'm gonna be a country boy again
Swing a little lady take, her by the hand, now promenade along
*I'm tired of the city life, I'm going home and then
I'm going to be a country boy again
CLOSER Basic - SSD Week 1
Four boys promenade in the middle around the ring
Come back home swing and whirl
Join hands circle to the left around that hall
Allemande left that corner, weave the ring
Oh I'm gonna be a country boy again
Swing a little lady, take her by the hand, now promenade along
*I'm tired of the city life, I'm going home and then
I'm going to be a country boy again
