Those Were The Days    (BS 2605)  Buddy Weaver

OPENER



Circle Left
Once upon a time there was a tavern
Where we used to raise a glass or two
Left Allemande the corner, Dosado you own
Left Allemande and Weave The Ring
Those were the days my friend, we thought they'd never end
We'd sing and dance forever and a day
We'd live the life we choose; we'd fight and never lose
Those were the days, oh yes, those were the days

FIGURE



Heads Square Thru count 'em 4 hands round
You make a Right Hand Star
The Heads Star Left, roll it one time and then
Same pair and do a Dosado
Swing Thru and then the Boys Trade
Swing the corner lady round and Promenade
We'd live the life we choose; we'd fight and never lose
Those were the days, oh yes, those were the days

MIDDLE BREAK



Circle Left
Just tonight I stood before the tavern
Oh, nothing seems the way it used to be
Left Allemande the corner, Dosado you own
Left Allemande and Weave The Ring
Those were the days my friend, we thought they'd never end
We'd sing and dance forever and a day
We'd live the life we choose; we'd fight and never lose
Those were the days, oh yes, those were the days

CLOSER



Circle Left
Through the door there came familiar laughter
I saw your face; I heard you call my name
Left Allemande the corner, Dosado you own
Left Allemande and Weave The Ring
Those were the days my friend, we thought they'd never end
We'd sing and dance forever and a day
We'd live the life we choose; we'd fight and never lose
Those were the days, oh yes, those were the days
