OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER Basic - SSD Week 4
Sides face grand square
*Teardrops fell on Mama's note
When I read the things she wrote
She said "we miss you, son, we love you"
Come on home, allemande left and weave the ring
**Well, I didn't have to pack
I had it all right on my back
Now I'm 500 miles
Away from home
ALTERNATE LYRICS
If you miss the train I'm on
You will know that I am gone
You can hear the whistle blow
100 miles
**Lord, I'm one, Lord, I'm two
Lord, I'm three, Lord, I'm four
Lord, I'm five hundred miles
Away from home
Can't remember when I ate
It's just thumbing, walking, wait
And it's still 500 miles
Away from home
**If my luck had just been right
I'd been home with them tonight
But I'm 500 miles
Away from home
FIGURE
Heads (sides) promenade it's half around
Walk in and square thru 4 hands round
Go all the way, right & left thru
Pass thru, trade by
Split that outside two round one, that corner swing
You take her by the hand and promenade that ring
Lord, I'm 500 miles
Away from home
