two columns

OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER

Circle left
* Long, long ago in old Wyoming lived a maid
Fair as the sweetest flower blooming in the glade

Allemande your corner, dosado
Left allemande that corner, weave around you go
** Then far to west his voice comes ringing, riding a wild horse he comes singing
Swing and promenade
He sang, "he le oh, yip ai oh lee, yip ai oh lee 'ay"
He brings a token of his love


FIGURE

Heads square thru four hands will do
Go all the way and then you do the right & left thru
Veer left and then couples circulate one time
Chain down the line, go forward and you come on back
Star thru, pass thru, trade by and swing
Swing and promenade
He sang, "he le oh, yip ai oh lee, yip ai oh lee 'ay"
He brings a token of his love


ALTERNATE LYRICS

* One day he rode away but never to return
Danger was waiting now his love must ever yearn


** Every night when the moon comes shining, for her heart his love was pining

* One day an angel brought a message from her love
Told her he was waiting in the starlit sky above


** For straight down a moon beam he comes riding out of the sky on a winged horse gliding

TAG

He brings a token of his love
