Bertie (SC 511) Tommy Cavanagh

OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER

4 ladies chain 3/4, Mrs. Brown you've got a lovely daughter
Promenade that girl around the ring
1 & 3 you wheel around, right & left thru with the couple you've found
Slide thru and you go left allemande
Dosado, same girl you swing
Swing around and then you promenade
Everyone knows me, from Smith to Lord Rosebury
Cause I'm Burlington Bertie from Bow

FIGURE

Head 2 couples promenade, go halfway round with your maid
Step right up and swing that opposite girl
Face to the middle, pass thru, circle 4 with the outside 2
Heads break and make a line, go up and back
Pass thru, wheel & deal, centers pass thru, swing
Swing the girl you meet and promenade
*Last week I went with Alice, to Buckingham Palace
Cause I'm Burlington Bertie from Bow
