Nellie
Sons Of The Pioneers; many others 1856

two columns

OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER    Mainstream

Circle to the left
In the sky a bright star glittered
On the bank a pale moon shone

Left allemande the corner, gonna dosado your own
Men star left around you go
Turn thru with the partner, then you go left allemande
Come back and dosado and promenade
Was until Aunt Diana's square dance party
I was seein' Nellie home


FIGURE    C4, corner progression

Well 4 little ladies chain across the ring go
Heads pass thru and you cloverleaf
Sides pass thru, curlique and then
Scoot back and when you do, boys run right my friend
Square thru 3 hands to the corner lady swing
Why swing the little girl and promenade
Was until Aunt Diana's square dance party
I was seein' Nellie home


ALTERNATE LYRICS

On my arm a soft hand rested
As we danced on through the night
