Holding The Bag
Sun Ra
1007

OPENER

Circle left
 Remember back in Nashville when we picked up those two
    That ole ugly one for me & that pretty one for you 
Walk around your corner, seesaw your own
Left allemande & weave it you know
 You always leave me holding the bag 
Swing and promenade her on home
 You think it's funny, but it ain't no gag
    How come you always leave me holding the bag 

FIGURE

Head/side couples promenade 1/2 way you go
Down the middle with a right & left thru & turn the girl you know
Star thru, pass thru, swing thru & now
Boys run right & ferris wheel that town
Centers square thru count 3
Swing the corner lady & promenade for me
 You think it's funny, but it ain't no gag
    How come you always leave me holding the bag 

BREAK

Sides face, grand square
 Remember down in Austin, that time we got tight
    You told that old boy that we wanted to fight  
    Now I know you thought I could win
    I guess that's the reason why you didn't step in 
4 ladies chain across that ring
Turn the girl, chain her home, promenade I sing
 You think it's funny, but it ain't no gag
    How come you always leave me holding the bag 

CLOSER

4 ladies promenade inside the ring, get home & everybody swing
Join hands & circle left I sing
Left allemande & weave the ring
 You always leave me holding the bag 
Swing your girl & promenade
 You think it's funny, but it ain't no gag
    How come you always leave me holding the bag
