OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER Mainstream
All four ladies chain go straight across that ring
Join up all your hands and circle left now
Allemande left in the alamo style, you balance out and in
Swing thru and then you're gonna turn thru
Left allemande and then come back one and swing
Keep this girl and promenade that ring there
* I have been to seek a wife, she's the joy of my life
She's a young thing and cannot leave her mother
ALTERNATE LYRICS
* Yes, she set for me a chair, but the bottom wasn't there
She's a young thing, and cannot leave her mother
* She can make a feather bed, that will rise above your head
She's a young thing, and cannot leave her mother
* She can bake a cherry pie, quick as a cat can wink her eye
She's a young thing, and cannot leave her mother
* She can milk a heifer calf and miss the bucket only half
She's a young thing, and cannot leave her mother
* She can sing a pretty song, but she often sings it wrong
She's a young thing, and cannot leave her mother
FIGURE Mainstream - SSD Week 8, corner progression
The heads promenade travel halfway 'round that ring
Lead to the right but dosado there
Swing thru and then, let the boys run right my friend
Bend that line then and you'll do a right & left thru now
Slide thru and then square thru and count me three
Swing your corner lady, promenade her
* Yes, she bade me to come in, and to kiss her on the chin
She's a young thing, and cannot leave her mother
