two columns

OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER    Basic - SSD Week 4

Sides face, grand square
I wandered today to the hills, Maggie
To watch the scene below
The creek and the creaking old mill, Maggie
As we used to long, long ago

Circle left
The green grove is gone from the hills, Maggie
Where first the daisies spring

Promenade
The creaking old mill is still, Maggie
Since you and I were young


FIGURE    Mainstream, corner progression

Heads square thru 4 hands around you know
Around the corner dosado and go
Swing thru along the line and let the boys run right
Tag the line and cloverleaf tonight
The girls square thru 3/4 round and then
Swing the corner lady round and promenade
Oh, to me you're as fair as you were, Maggie
When you and I were young


ALTERNATE LYRICS

They say that I'm feeble with age, Maggie
My steps are much slower than then
My face is a well-written page, Maggie
And time all alone was the pen

Circle left
They say we have out-lived our time, Maggie
As dated as songs that we've sung

Promenade
But to me you're as fair as you were, Maggie
When you and I were young


TAG

When you and I were young
