OPENER - CLOSER Mainstream
Circle left
Well I got me a fine life, got me old fiddle
When the sun comes up, I got cakes on the griddle
Life ain't nothing but a funny, funny riddle
Thank God I'm a country boy
Do an allemande left with the corner go, come on back, a dosado
Men star by the left, gonna roll it once around that set
Turn your partner by the right, left allemande tonight
Come on back a dosado, promenade that girl back home
Well, I wouldn't trade my life for diamonds or jewels
Never was one of those money hungry fools
Rather have my fiddle and my farmin' tools
Thank God I'm country boy
FIGURE
Heads (sides) square thru 4 hands around you'll do
Around that corner dosado, once around and a little more "dough"
Swing thru 2 by 2, boys run to the right you'll do
Ferris wheel in the middle and go
A right and left thru and turn your Joe
Square thru 3 hands you know, 3 hands around and go
Swing your corner, swing that girl
Promenade go round that world
Well, I wouldn't trade my life for diamonds or jewels
Never was one of those money hungry fools
Rather have my fiddle and my farmin' tools
Thank God I'm a country boy
MIDDLE BREAK Mainstream
Sides face grand square
(32 beats of fiddle rhythm)
Join hands and circle to the left
Well I wouldn't trade my life for diamonds or jewels
Never was one of those money hungry fools
Rather have my fiddle and my farmin' tools
Allemande left and promenade
Well I got me a fine life, got me old fiddle
When the sun comes up, I got cakes on the griddle
Life ain't nothing but a funny, funny riddle
Thank God I'm a country boy
