OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER Basic - SSD Week 4
Sides face grand square
*When I was young and in my prime, I left my home in Caroline
*That's all I do is sit and pine for all the folks I left behind
Circle left
I've got the Blue Ridge Mountain blues
Allemande left, swing and promenade
My grip is packed to travel, I'm scratchin' gravel
To that Blue Ridge far away
ALTERNATE LYRICS
*Gonna stay right by my Pa, gonna do right by my Ma
*I'll hang around the cabin door, no work, no worry anymore
**I see a window with a light, I see two heads of snowy white
**I listen to hear them both recite, where is my wondering boy tonight
FIGURE Mainstream, corner progression
The heads (Sides) square thru and count 'em 4
Find the corner lady do a dosado
You swing thru and spin the top
Boys move up and do a right & left thru
Now square thru three, to the corner
Swing the corner girl and promenade
Gonna hunt the possum, where the corn tops blossom
In that Blue Ridge far away
TAG
Swing her
That Blue Ridge far away
