Those Were The Days (ESP 169 ) Elmer Sheffield, Jr.

OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER

Circle left
Once upon a time there was a tavern
Where we used to raise a glass or two
Men star by the right and roll it round now
Left allemande then weave around the ring
Those were the days my friend
We thought they'd never end
Swing your girl and promenade
We'd live the life we choose
We'd love and never lose
Those were the days, oh yes those were the days

FIGURE (Twice for heads, twice for sides)

Head two couples promenade go halfway
Side pair do the right and left thru
Square thru four hands around you go now
Dosado then do an eight chain four
La, la, la, la, la, la, swing that corner girl
Swing her and promenade the floor
We'd live the life we choose
We'd love and never lose
Those were the days, oh yes those were the days
