OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER    Basic - SSD Week 4

Sides face grand square
*Teardrops fell on Mama's note
When I read the things she wrote
She said "we miss you, son, we love you"
Come on home

Allemande left and weave the ring
**Well I didn't have to pack
I had it all right on my back
Now I'm 500 miles away from home


ALTERNATE LYRICS

*If you miss the train I'm on
You will know that I'm gone
You can hear the whistle blow
100 miles


**Lord I'm 1, Lord I'm 2
Lord I'm 3, Lord I'm 4
Lord I'm 500 miles away from home


*Can remember when I ache
It's just storming walking way
And it's still 500 miles away from home


*If my luck had just been right
I'd been home within tonight
But I'm 500 miles away from home


FIGURE   

Heads (sides) promenade it's half around
Walk in and square thru 4 hands round
Go all the way, right & left thru
Pass thru, trade by
Split that outside two round one, that corner swing
You take her by the hand and promenade that ring
Lord I'm 500 miles away from home
