Only Sixteen
(FT 169) Rod Shuping
OPENER - CLOSER
Grand Square
She was only sixteen, only sixteen
But I loved her so
She was too young to fall in love
And I was too young to know
Allemande Left & Weave the Ring
We'd laugh and we'd sing And do the little things
That made my heart glow
Promenade
But she was too young to fall in love
And I was too young to know
FIGURE
Heads Square Thru count 'em 4 hands round
You make a Right Hand Star
The Heads Star Left, roll it one time and then
Same pair and do a Dosado
Swing Thru and then the Boys Trade
Swing the corner lady round and Promenade
But she was too young to fall in love
And I was too young to know
MIDDLE BREAK
Grand Square
Why did I give my heart so fast
It never will happen again
But I was a mere lad of sixteen
I've aged a year since then
Allemande Left & Weave the Ring
She was only sixteen, only sixteen
With eyes that would glow
But she was too young to fall in love
And I was too young to know
TAG
And I was too young to know, And I was.... too young..... to know...
