two columns

OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER    Basic - SSD Week 1

Circle left
*My life is measured by the telephone poles
Mileage lines are on my face

Allemande left your corner, dosado your own
Men star left and turn it two times around
I'm just a travelin' minstrel man
Meet your partner, swing her, promenade the land
I'll sing my song and move along
I'm just a travelin' minstrel man


FIGURE    Basic, corner progression

Heads square thru 4 hands around you go
Meet the sides and make a right hand star
Heads star left and turn it one time around
Come back to the same two, go right & left thru
Square thru 3, now 3/4 round the ring
Allemande left new corner, come back and swing, promenade
I'll sing my song and move along
I'm just a travelin' minstrel man


ALTERNATE LYRICS

*I've got a suitcase full of stories to tell
About all the places I have been

*When I've told my stories and sung all my songs
I'll be on that road again
