Gene Autry, My Hero    (BS 2317)   Johnnie Wykoff

OPENER



Sides face, grand square
Childhood memories I treasure the most I suppose
Were the Saturday afternoons spent at the town picture show

Circle left
I'd worl all day long in the fields
But at night I would dream

Promenade
That I'd see Gene Autry go riding across the big screen

FIGURE



The heads square thru 4 hands around to the corner dosado
You slide thru, go 2 times and then
Dosado, make a wave, girls trade
Swing thru and then, girls turn back
Promenade in a dream
And we'll see Gene Autry go riding across the big screen

MIDDLE BREAK



Sides face, grand square
Saturday mornings I'd walk five miles or more
And twelve o'clock noon found me first one in line at the door

Circle left
I'd worked all week long, but today I'd fulfill my dream
Promenade
And I'd see Gene Autry go riding across the big screen

ENDING



Sides face, grand square
Oft as a child from our home in the country I'd roam
My daddy would scold me, cause I'd never be around home

Circle left
But mom understood me cause she'd always smile when I'd say
Promenade
Gene Autry and I had been rounding up outlaws all day

TAG



And I see Gene Autry go riding across the big screen
