Merry Go Round Of Love    (D 630)   Frank Lane

OPENER



Hey circle left on the merry go round, the merry go round of love
Round and round on the merry go round, finding a true love sure is tough

Do an allemande left your corner, run home do a dosado
Now boys star by the left once around you know
Hey turn your partner by the right and you go left allemande
Come on home & swing & whirl & promenade the land
Some people falling off, some are getting on, some are getting ready to jump
Here we go round the merry go round, the merry go round of love

FIGURE



Why 1 & 3 (2 & 4) you square thru & you count 4 hands you know
When you see the corner girl, do a little dosado
Swing thru & now boys run to the right
Tag the line & when you're there, let's cloverleaf tonight
Oh girls square thru, go 3 hands around
Swing that corner lady, promenade her on the merry go round
Some people falling off, some are getting on, some are getting ready to jump
Here we go round the merry go round, the merry go round of love

MIDDLE BREAK



Circle left
I just got off that merry go round, my heart was starting to mend
The last ride I had was awfully bad, I swore I'd never do it again

Do an allemande left your corner, run home do a dosado
Now boys star by the left once around you know
Hey turn your partner by the right and you go left allemande
Come on home & swing & whirl & promenade the land
Then I met a little girl she gave me a whirl & I'm off for another ride
I guess I'll be riding the merry go round until the day I die

CLOSER



Circle left
How long will I ride the merry go round, how long will it be this way
How many times must I go round till I find a girl who will stay

Do an allemande left your corner, run home do a dosado
Now boys star by the left once around you know
Hey turn your partner by the right and you go left allemande
Come on home & swing & whirl & promenade the land
Each time I think I've found a true love and my riding days are done
Along comes a guy, she waves goodbye, and I'm back where I started from

TAG



Round and round on the merry go round
Back where I started from
