Too Old To Cut The Mustard    (RYL 0511)  Larry Letson

OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER



Circle Left
*When I was young I had lots of pep
I could get around, didn't need no help
Now I'm old and getting gray
People look at me and say
Allemande left your corner girl,
Turn your partner right you whirl
Allemande left with the corner and
Weave around that ring
I've done got too old, I just got too old
Swing that girl and promenade
I've done got too old, I just got too old
I'm too old to cut the mustard anymore

FIGURE



Heads promenade half way with your maid
Down the middle square thru four hands I say
Right & left thru the outside pair
Veer left and circulate, half tag
Scoot back boys, scoot back girls
Swing the corner girl and promenade
I've done got too old, I just got too old
I'm too old to cut the mustard anymore

TAG



Too old to cut the mustard anymore

ADDITIONAL LYRICS



*Well, I used to jump just like a deer
Now I need a new landing gear
Used to could jump a picket fence
Now I'm lucky if I jump an inch

**When I was young I had an automobile
Slid myself right under the wheel
Had to fight the girls off with a stick
Now they say "You make me sick"
