May The Circle Be Unbroken
Arlo Guthrie; many others 1907
  (Square Tunes 203)   Randy Dougherty
 
two columns

OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER    Basic

Allemande left like an allemande thar
And a right and left and the four men star
And the men back in like a Cadillac car
And you back 'em in like an allemande thar
Shoot the star like an allemande thar
Right & left and the four men star
And the men back in like an old freight car
And you back 'em in, not too far
Shoot the star and a right & left grand,
Every other girl and every other hand
Swing and you promenade
May the circle be unbroken
By and by, by and by


FIGURE    Mainstream, corner progression

Head couples square thru and get 4 hands around go
You meet those two, go right & left thru
Swing thru tonight and the boys run right
Tag your line, face to the left, wheel & deal
Touch 1/4, split circulate, go twice
Swing and you promenade
May the circle be unbroken
By and by, by and by


MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER (ALTERNATE)    Basic - SSD Week 1

Four ladies promenade, you go walking round the ring
Get back home and swing your man, join your hands
Make a big ring, circle to the left
Allemande left and weave the ring
Oh, your mother, your sister and brother
Come on do the dosado and you promenade
May the circle be unbroken
By and by, by and by
