Those Were The Days The Limelighters (1963); Mary Hopkin (1968) 1963 | (Riverboat 245) Wade Driver |
OPENER - CLOSER Basic - SSD Week 4
Sides face, grand square
*Once a upon a time there was a tavern
Where we used to raise a glass or two
Remember how we laughed away the hours
And dreamed of all the great things we would do
Circle left
Those were the days my friend, we thought they'd never end
Left allemande, swing and promenade
We'd live the life we choose, we'd fight and never lose
Those were the days, oh yes those were the days
ALTERNATE LYRICS
*Through the door there came familiar laughter
I saw your face and heard you call my name
Oh my friend, we're older but no wiser
For in our hearts our dreams are still the same
FIGURE Basic - SSD Week 10, corner progression
Head two couples promenade go halfway
Walk in and square thru get 4
All the way around and now you swing thru
Boys you run right and ferris wheel
Square thru 3, la la, la la la la la la
Swing the corner lady, promenade
We'd live the life we choose, we'd fight and never lose
Those were the days, oh yes those were the days
MIDDLE BREAK Basic - SSD Week 1
Four ladies promenade the inside
Get on home and swing there with your man
You join hands circle left go round now
Allemande left that corner, weave the ring
Those were the days my friend, we thought they'd never end
We'd sing and dance, forever and a day
We'd live the life we choose, we'd fight and never lose
Those were the days, oh yes those were the days
