The Things I Treasure Dorsey Burnette 1977 | (4-Bar-B 6017) Mike Sikorsky |
OPENER Mainstream
Circle left
*I'm gonna find the things I treasure
Some that's old and some that's new
Left allemande, a dosado now
Men star left around and go
You turn thru and go left allemande
Dosado and promenade the land
I'll count my treasures one by one
When I turn to face the sun
ALTERNATE LYRICS
*Taste the fruit of love and kindness
'Cause just a small amount has been surveyed
*Need no roof to get up under
'Cause heaven shelters me everywhere I go
*Life's a mighty raging river
And I'm searching for a place to overflow
FIGURE Mainstream, corner progression
Heads square thru and get me 4
Well now you make a right hand star, turn it once around you go
Heads star left in the middle and turn it once around
Get to the corner lady, touch 1/4
Scoot back twice, first the guys, then the girls you know
Swing that girl and promenade the line
*Have the freedom of the north wind
Free to fly like a bird up in the blue
MIDDLE BREAK Mainstream
Circle left
I'm gonna hover above the mountains
See the things the good Lord made
Left allemande, a dosado now
Men star left around and go
You turn thru and go left allemande
Dosado and promenade the land
I'll count my treasures one by one
When I turn to face the sun
CLOSER Mainstream
Circle left
Free and peaceful
Like a white dove when he's ready to unfold
Left allemande, a dosado now
Men star left around and go
You turn thru and go left allemande
Dosado and promenade the land
I'll count my treasures one by one
When I turn to face the sun
