OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER Basic
Circle to the left
* It's been ten long years since I left my home
** In the hollow where I was born
You walk around your corner, then you see saw your own
Do a left allemande with the corner and you weave the ring
What have they done to the old home place?
You swing and you promenade back home (Why did they tear it down?)
And why did I leave the plow in the field
And look for a job in the town?
ALTERNATE LYRICS
* I fell in love with a girl from the town
** I thought that she would be true
* Well my girl she ran off with somebody else
** The taverns took all my pay
FIGURE Mainstream, corner progression
Heads couples you promenade, half way around and go
Walk in and square thru count to four
You go all the way then a right & left thru and turn the girl
Veer to the left and the couples circulate
Half tag, scoot back, scoot back again
Star thru and you promenade
And why did I leave the plow in the field
And look for a job in the town?
Contains a "blended" movement: Scoot Back followed by Star Thru.
