OPENER Basic - SSD Week 1
Circle left
*My mother she would bake apple pie and currant cake
My father he would tie the sheaves of corn
Left allemande your corner, turn your partner by the right
Allemande left with your corner and weave that ring
I was a young man when I sowed the fields of barley
Swing your partner round and promenade
And a farmer I have lived, and a farmer I will die
And I wouldn't have it any other way
ALTERNATE LYRICS
I settled down to married life with my children and my wife
And farming ways were changing rapidly
*And now my pride and joy are my sons and their wee boys
Calving cows and liming sheep as day is dawnin'
FIGURE
Heads (Sides) promenade, halfway round the ring
Down the middle and pass the ocean there
Extend, girls trade
Swing thru and boys run right
Bend the line and square thru 5
I was a young man when I sowed the fields of barley
Take your corner's hand and promenade back home
And a farmer I have lived, and a farmer I will die
And I wouldn't have it any other way
TAG
And I wouldn't have it any other way
