Circle left
*I've laid around and played around this old town too long
Summer's almost gone, and winter's coming on

Men star right go once around
Find that corner girl and you'll go left allemande
Come back and swing your girl and promenade go round the land
**I've laid around and played around this old town too long
And I feel like I've gotta travel on


ALTERNATE LYRICS

*Pappa writes to Johnny, but Johnny can't come home
Johnny can't come home, no Johnny can't come home


**Pappa write to Johnny, but Johnny can't come home
Cause he's been on the chain gang too long


FIGURE    Mainstream, R-H lady progression

1 & 3 (2 & 4) you promenade go halfway around the ring
Lead to the right and circle four make a line for me
Dance up to the middle and back, star thru
Dosado, go full around and spin chain thru
Girls circulate two places, looking for a man to swing
Swing that man and promenade that ring
I've laid around and played around this old town too long
And I feel like I've gotta travel on
