Circle left
* Hey look way over yonder, what do you think I see
I see a band of angels, Lord, they're coming after me
Allemande left your corner, turn partner by the right
Allemande left that corner girl, weave the ring tonight
Ain't no grave gonna hold my body down
Swing your lady and promenade the square
When I hear that trumpet sound
I'm gonna get up and walk around
Ain't no grave gonna hold my body down
ALTERNATE LYRICS
** Well, going down to the river gonna bury my knees down in the sand
I'm gonna holler hallelujah 'till I reached that promised land
*** Well go down yonder Gabriel put your foot on the land and sea.
But don't you blow that trumpet boy until you hear from me!
FIGURE Mainstream, corner progression
Heads promenade 3/4, the sides right & left thru
Pass thru, touch 1/4, walk & dodge you do
Partner trade, slide thru, then square thru to 3
Swing, swing corner girl, promenade the ring
When I hear that trumpet sound
I'm gonna get up and walk around
Ain't no grave gonna hold my body down
FIGURE (ALTERNATE) Mainstream, corner progression
Heads flutter wheel, then sweep 1/4 more
Pass thru, dosado to an ocean wave and go
Swing thru, spin the top, right & left thru
Pass the ocean, girls trade, boys cross fold
Swing, swing corner girl, promenade the ring
When I hear that trumpet sound
I'm gonna get up and walk around
Ain't no grave gonna hold my body down
