Holding The Bag    (SUNRA 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?

MIDDLE 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?
