I'm Going Back
(MAC 2186) Dan Fulford
OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER
Grand Square
I used go down to the station
Just to watch the pullman train come rolling in, (swing your own)
Men star left one time around now, do a do sa do once around and
Weave that ring you roam
I used think my life was humdrum
But i finally learned my lesson, do si do, and promenade some
I'm going back to where i come from
Where the mockingbird singing in the lilac bush
FIGURE
Four ladies chain and turn this lady
2 & 4 will promenade & go 1/2 around
Heads square thru, i'ts full around now
Put centers in, cast of, go 3/4 round, ends cross fold
While centers square thru 3/4
Swing that corner gal & promenade her home from there
I'm going back to where i come from
Where the mockingbird singing in the lilac bush
ADDITIONAL LYRICS
Middle Break:
* I met a girl in Kansas city she ask me if I'd like to step around
** But there were things she had to fix up
So she took my 14 dollars do si do and promenade
Now she's been gone since (thursday) evening
And i have a hunch i'll never see that gal again.
Closer:
* When i grow up and have a grandson
I will tell him about those days.
** There ain't no used in my pretending
the city ain't no place to, do si do and promenade in
Going back to where i come from.
