OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER Mainstream
Circle left
The old man from the mountain's
Coming home, home, home
Allemande your corner, dosado your own
Men star left, once around you go
Turn thru, allemande and weave
*The old man from the mountain's
Coming home, home, home
Dosado your lady, promenade her home
**Get rid of Joe the Grinder, you better be home alone
The old man from the mountain's coming home
FIGURE C4, corner progression
1 & 3 square thru 4 hands around you go
Round the corner lady, you do a dosado
Curlique and then, scoot back my friend
Boys run, square thru 3 hands
Allemande your corner, dosado your own
Swing the corner lady, promenade her home
Get rid of Joe the Grinder, you better be home alone
The old man from the mountain's coming home
