two columns

OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER    Basic - SSD Week 4

Heads face grand square
*I travel ar'nd this country, cross the waters deep and wide
Made lots of friends and memories, bro't joy to others' lives
It's Christmas time again, another year's come and gone
But I can't keep from wondering how the ol' folks are at home

Circle left
I'll be home with bells on
Allemande and promenade her
**Trim the tree, wrap the presents, turn the Christmas music on
This Christmas I'll be home with bells on


ALTERNATE LYRICS

*It's square dance time again, I'm lonely for home
Wonder if the time will come when I won't have to roam


**Just 20 miles to go, yes turn the music on
Oh honey, I'll be home with bells on


FIGURE    Mainstream, corner progression

Heads (sides) square thru now 4 hands round you go
Find the corner, touch 1/4, scoot back and go
Boys run, pass thru, tag the line and then
Face in, touch 1/4, boys run, eight chain 4
I'll be home with bells on
Swing, promenade her
Trim the tree, wrap the presents, turn the Christmas music on
This Christmas I'll be home with bells on
