Christmas Times A Coming

one column

OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER    Basic - SSD Week 4

Sides face, grand square
Christmas time's a coming, Christmas time's a coming
Christmas time's a coming, I know I'm going home
*White candles burning, my old heart's yearning
For the folks at home, Christmas time's a coming

Allemande left the corner girl, dosado your own
Allemande left just once again, promenade her home
Hear them bells ringing, ringing
Joy, joy, hear them singing
I just know I'll be going
Back to my country home


ALTERNATE LYRICS

*Holly's in the window, it's cold where the wind blows
I can't walk for running, Christmas time's a coming


*Snow flakes a falling, my old home's a calling
Pine trees a humming, Christmas time's a coming


(Note: this record can be used for any season by substituting another word
for Christmas, such as "Summer time's a coming", "Vacation time's a coming", etc.)

FIGURE    Mainstream, R-H lady progression

Head two couples out to the right, circle four out there tonight
Break right out to a line of four, eight to the middle and back
Pass thru, wheel & deal, centers pass thru you do
Dosado the outside two, swing thru and then
Turn thru to the corner and you go left allemande
Walk right by your own, swing the next one, promenade
Hear them bells ringing, ringing
Joy, joy, hear them singing
I just know I'll be going
Back to my country home
