two columns

OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER    Mainstream

Circle left
*I thumbed from LA back to Knoxville
I found out those bright lights ain't where I belong

Allemande that corner, come back a dosado
Men star by the left around you go
Turn thru at home, left allemande and then
Swing your lady, promenade her
Oh, misty rain I'll keep on searchin'
She's somewhere in the Smokey Mountain rain


ALTERNATE LYRICS

*From a phone booth in the rain I called to tell her
I've had a change of dreams, I'm coming home


*Tears filled my eyes when I found out she was gone
For a man needs someone warm to hold


FIGURE (1)    Mainstream, corner progression

Heads promenade and go about halfway
You lead to the right & make a right hand star
Heads star by the left inside it's full around you do
To the same two you do the right & left thru
Swing thru and then turn thru, that corner swing
Swing this lady, promenade her
Oh, misty rain I'll keep on searchin'
She's somewhere in the Smokey Mountain rain


FIGURE (2)    Plus, corner progression

Head couples square thru four hands around you go
When you meet those sides make a right hand star
Heads star by the left inside it's full around you do
To the same two you do the right & left thru, turn the girl
Star thru, and load the boat, move it down the line
Find the corner lady, swing and promenade her
Oh, misty rain I'll keep on searchin'
She's somewhere in the Smokey Mountain rain
