Circle left
*I wonder how the old folks are at home
I wonder if they miss me when I'm gone

Left allemande the corner, then dosado your own
The men star by the left one time you go
Get home dosado, the corner allemande
Swing with your own and promenade
I wonder if they pray for the boy who went away
I wonder how the old folks are at home


ALTERNATE LYRICS

*Just a village and a homestead on the farm
A mother's love to shield me from all harm


FIGURE    C4, corner progression

The heads (sides) square thru four hands you go
Around the corner dosado
Star thru, pass thru, tag the line and then
Face in, curlique, boys run
Eight chain four, across the ring you roam
Swing the corner, promenade her home
You can almost hear them cry when they kissed their boy goodbye
I wonder how the old folks are at home


TAG

Yes, I wonder how the old folks are at home
