Circle left
*I thought I had seen pretty girls in my time
But that was before I met you

Men star by the right inside once around you go
Allemande your corner and weave the ring
I thought I was swinging the world by the tail
Swing your own and promenade
**I never saw one that I wanted for mine
But that was before I met you


ALTERNATE LYRICS

*I wanted to ramble and always be free
But that was before I met you


**I said that no woman could ever hold me
But that was before I met you


*They tell me I must reap just what I have sown
but darling I hope it's not true


**For once I made plans about living alone
But that was before I met you


FIGURE    Mainstream, corner progression

Heads (sides) square thru, get me four hands around
Well, get to the corner girl, swing thru, boys run right
Bend the line, right & left thru, dixie style to a wave
Boys cast off three, girls face in, extend
Swing that girl and promenade
I thought I'd been kissed and I thought I'd been loved
But that was before I met you


TAG

But that was before I met you

Same music as Red Boot 138.
