Weeping Willow Tree
The Carter Family 1906
  (Square L 122)   Melton Luttrell
 
two columns

OPENER    Basic - SSD Week 11

4 ladies chain and you turn this Jane
Rollaway and circle 'round that land
Once more you rollaway, dosado and then
Box the gnat and do a wrong way grand
Oh, bury me beneath the willow
Box the gnat, step up and promenade
And when she knows where I am sleeping
Then perhaps she'll think of me


FIGURE    Basic, corner progression

Heads (sides) square thru, count 4 you do
With the sides, you make a right hand star
Heads star left, turn it round that set
Full around, turn back a right hand star
Your corner left allemande and dosi your partner
Swing the corner girl and promenade
She's gone, she's gone away with another
And no longer thinks of me


MIDDLE BREAK    Basic - SSD Week 11

4 ladies chain and you turn this Jane
Rollaway and circle 'round that land
Once more you rollaway, dosado and then
Box the gnat and do a wrong way grand
Oh, bury me beneath the willow
Box the gnat, step up and promenade
And when she knows who I am swinging
Then perhaps she'll swing with me


CLOSER    Basic - SSD Week 11

4 ladies chain and you turn this Jane
Rollaway and circle 'round that land
Once more you rollaway, dosado and then
Box the gnat and do a wrong way grand
Oh, bury me beneath the willow
Box the gnat, step up and promenade
Oh, bury me beneath the willow
Beneath the weeping willow tree
