Blue Birds    (ER 1014)   Mitchell Osawa

OPENER - CLOSER



Circle left
*Tonight I'm far from the Blue Ridge Mountains
Far from my home back in the hills

Left allemande, dosado her
4 men star by the left inside you go
Back home and turn thru, left allemande
Come on home, swing and promenade
Oh, I can hear the bluebirds calling
They're calling me back to my home

FIGURE



Heads promenade travel halfway
Sides square thru keep in time, 4 hands around
And a right & left thru there
You do an eight chain 6 across that floor
And the bluebirds singing in the Blue Ridge Mountains
Swing a little girl and promenade
Oh, I can hear the bluebirds calling
They're calling me back to my home

MIDDLE BREAK



Sides face, grand square
Listen to the bluebirds sing
(instrumental)
Four boys promenade, get along boys
Swing and promenade
Oh, I can hear the bluebirds calling
They're calling me back to my home

ALTERNATE LYRICS



*There was a girl I loved so dearly
She lived away back in the hills

TAG



They're calling me back to my home
