Before The Streets Were Paved Peter Rowan 2006 | (Riverboat 270) |
OPENER Basic
Let's circle left
Oh Grandfather, tell me how it was when you were young
Was the world so very old when your life had just begun
Reverse it back, lets circle right go 'round
Drop hands, single file, promenade that town
Oh Grandfather, tell me is it true you worked the land?
Boys step up beside your girl, promenade her home
Before time was only money and machines made man a slave
Was the world all milk and honey before all the streets were paved?
FIGURE Basic, no progression
Heads (sides) go forward up and back
Same pair dosado one time go back to back
Everybody face your partner dosado one time
Same partner there reverse your dosado
Four men star by the left go inside the ring
Keep your star pick up your girl, you promenade her home
Before time was only money and machines made man a slave
The world was milk and honey before all the streets were paved
MIDDLE BREAK Basic
Circle left
Grandson, I'll tell you how it was when I was young
The world was full of wonder in my first days in the sun
Reverse it back, circle right, go walkin' 'round a while
Drop hands single file, promenade in style
Don't let time be only money and machines make you a slave
Boys step up beside your girl and promenade
Yeah, there's more to time than money
There's more to treasure than to save
So taste that milk and honey before all the streets are paved
CLOSER Basic
Circle left
Grandson remember in the days that are to come
One thing I will tell you before my life on earth is done
Here's where you circle to the right, go walkin' 'round in style
Drop hands single file promenade around a while
Don't let time be only money, don't let machines make you a slave
Boys step right up, all will promenade
Yeah there's more to time than money, more to treasure than to save
So taste that milk and honey before all the streets are paved
