OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER
Circle left
*There are people in this country
Who work hard every day
Not for fame or fortune do they strive
Left allemande that corner, come home dosado
Men star by the left go once inside
You turn the partner by the right, go left allemande
Come back one & swing, promenade the land
**Hello Detroit auto worker, thank you for your time
Workin' hard for a living, to send it on down the line
ALTERNATE LYRICS
*You can see them every morning
In the factories & the fields
City streets & quiet country towns
**Hello Kansas wheat field farmer
Hello West Virginia coal miner
FIGURE
Head/side couples promenade 1/2 way you go
Walk in & square thru, gotta get 4 you know
When you meet the sides, a right hand star exactly 1/2 way around
As a couple, veer left, as a couple circulate
Bend the line, reverse flutterwheel
Keep this girl & promenade the ring
Workin' together like spokes inside a wheel
Keepin' this country turnin' round
TAG
4 ladies chain over and back
Oh beautiful for spacious skies for amber waves of grain
