Holding The Bag    (7C 101)   Al McAlpin

OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER



Four ladies promenade inside that ring
Join all your hands and circle left you know
Left allemande that corner and then weave that old ring
Remember when you told that boy I wanted to fight?
Dosado that lady, promenade her right
You may think it's funny but it ain't no gag
How come you always leave me holding the bag?

FIGURE



Head couples promenade and go halfway
Come down the middle and square thru it's four hands I say
Four hands around and do that right & left thru
You'll do an eight chain six and count 'em you do
Remember back in Nashville when we picked up those two?
Swing that corner lady and promenade too
You were up front playing lovers' tag
While I was in the back seat just a holding the bag
