Carolina In The Pines Michael M. Murphey 1975 | (Riverboat 1426) Adam Christman |
OPENER
Circle left
She came to me, said she knew me
Said she'd known me a long time
Men star right, roll it around one time
Left allemande, weave the ring
And she talked of trails she'd walked up
Far above the timberline
From that night on I knew I'd write songs
For Carolina in the pines
FIGURE Mainstream - SSD Week 12, corner progression
Heads (Sides) promenade and you go halfway
Walk in and square thru 4
All the way and you gotta swing thru
Boy run to the right and the couples circulate
Half tag, scoot back go one time
Swing your corner girl and all promenade
There are nights I only feel right
With Carolina in the pines
MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER
Sides face, grand square
*There's a full moon on the fourteenth
First quarter twenty-first
And a full moon in the last week
Brings a fullness to the earth
Allemande and weave
**There's no guess work in the clockwork
Of the world's heart or mine
There are nights I only feel right
With Carolina in the pines
ALTERNATE LYRICS
*As the frost grows on the windows
The wood stove smokes and glows
As the fire glows we can warm our souls
Makin' rainbows in the coals
**And we talk of trails we walk up
Far above the timberline
There are nights I only feel right
With Carolina in the pines
