Those Were The Days (Silver Sounds 129) Red Bates
- OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER Basic
Four ladies chain across the ring, you roll away circle left
Do an allemande left, then allemande thar, go forward 2 and star
The men wheel right in with a right hand star, slip the clutch
Left allemande, dosado round your own
Left allemande, come back and promenade
Those were the days my friend, we thought they'd never end
Those were the days, oh yes, those were the days.
- FIGURE Mainstream, corner progression
Heads (sides) promenade 1/2, walk in square thru 4
All the way then right & left thru my friend
Pass thru, trade by, then touch 1/4
Scoot back and then, you're gonna scoot back again
That corner swing and promenade
Those were the days my friend, we thought they'd never end
Those were the days, oh yes, those were the days.

We'd live the life we choose, we'd love and never lose
Those were the days, oh yes, those were the days.
