West Virginia (Red Boot 123 ) Don Williamson

OPENER - CLOSER

Sides face! Grand Square!
Almost heaven, West Virginia
Blue Ridge Mountains, Shanandoah River
Life is older, older than the trees
Younger than the mountains, blowing in the breeze.
Four ladies chain, across and then
Chain 'em back, roll promenade
West Virginia, Mountain Mama
Take me home, country road.

MIDDLE BREAK

Sides face! Grand Square!
All my memories gathered round her
Miners lady, stranger to blue water
Dark and dusty, painted on the sky
Misty taste of moonshine, teardrops in my eye.
Four ladies chain, across and then
Chain 'em back, roll promenade
West Virginia, Mountain Mama
Take me home, country road.

FIGURE

Heads (sides) promenade, half round that ring
Same ladies chain, straight across and then
Sides (heads) star thru and California twirl
Do sa do then do a spin chain thru
Country road, take me home
Girls turn back, boys trade, promenade
West Virginia, Mountain Mama
Take me home, country road.
