Mary's Boy Child (CARD 49) Harold Hailey, Mary "Mary" Castleberry

OPENER

Sides face, grand square
While the shepherds watch their flocks by night
They see a bright new star
And hear a choir of angels sing
Music seems to come from afar
Circle left
Hark, now hear the angels sing
Left allemande, promenade the ring
We will live forevermore
Because of Christmas day

FIGURE

Heads (sides) pass thru and do a partner trade
Square thru 4 hands round
4 hands and then do a right & left thru
Pass thru and trade by, swing thru
Spin the top, slide thru
Swing your corner, promenade her too
We will live forevermore
Because of Christmas day

MIDDLE BREAK

Sides face, grand square
Now Joseph and his wife, Mary
Came to Bethlehem that night
They find no place to lay their child
Not a single room is in sight
Circle left
Hark, now hear the angels sing
Left allemande, promenade the ring
We will live forevermore
Because of Christmas day
