How A Cowgirl Say Goodbye    (ESP 1019)  Elmer Sheffield

OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER



Circle Left
*A cup of coffee with the first sunrise
At a last chance Texaco
Left allemande, turn partner by the right
Left allemande and weave the ring
These empty miles and her memory
They just seem to linger on
With a cold and empty stare, as if I wasn't there
That's how a cowgirl says goodbye

FIGURE



Heads (sides) square thru four hands around you go
Dosado that corner girl
Swing thru and by the right cast off 3/4
Walk and dodge, partner trade
Square thru 3/4 round you go
Swing the corner, promenade
She left me on this lost highway
Wondering why and where she's gone

ADDITIONAL LYRICS



*Called up her mama in Abilene
Just to find out how she'd been

*That's how a cowgirl breaks a young man's heart
That's how my whole world slowly came apart
