This Ole Road
(RIV 276) Elmer Sheffield
OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER
Circle Left
A lonely road I’ve seen it coming*
Around another bend.
The men Star right turn it once around
Left Allemande and Weave again.
Well, this old road it knows me well.
It knows my days aren’t long.
It’s seen the time I was a lad
Walkin’ on this old road.
FIGURE
Those heads [sides] Promenade and go half way around
Walk in, Square Thru four
Go all the way and now Swing Thru tonight
Let the boys Run right, Ferris Wheel
The centers Sweep 1/4 more and then Lead right
Swing the corner, Promenade
It’s seen the time I was a lad
Walkin’ on this old road.
TAG
Walkin’ on this old road.
ADDITIONAL LYRICS
Well all those younger carefree days
The years have passed away
It’s been so long since I’ve been gone, now
It’s time to make amends.
