Highway Forty Blues
Ricky Skaggs 1982
  (Blue Star 2207)   Johnnie Wykoff
 
two columns

OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER    Basic - SSD Week 1

4 ladies chain the ring, chain the ladies home again
Join your hands and circle left
Left allemande and weave the set
Wasted time and money too
Swing and whirl and promenade
*But in the end I had to lose, Lord above I paid my dues
I got these highway forty blues


FIGURE    Mainstream, unknown progression

Heads square thru count to 4, dosado
You swing thru, boys run right
You tag the line and all face right
Ladies run, trade and swing
Left allemande, promenade the ring
*My life is filled with bitter tears
Lord I ain't been home in years
I got these highway forty blues


ALTERNATE LYRICS

*Things a country boy can't use
Dixieland I sure miss you
I got these highway forty blues
