First Day (BS 1888) Bob Fisk

INTRO - MIDDLE BREAK - ENDING

Circle left
On the evening of the first day that you're gone
I'll stand in silence at my window wishing I could stop the night
Left allemande your corner, turn your partner by the right
4 ladies promenade go once around tonight
Box the gnat at home and then you weave around that ring
You'll dosado around your girl and promenade
By then I'll know for certain that you won't be coming back
But still I'll keep on hopin that you will someday

FIGURE

4 ladies chain, go straight across that ring
1 & 3 (2 & 4) go right & left thru and roll away
Join your hands, you circle left my friend
Circle left go round the ring that way
4 men pass thru, you both turn right single file
Girls pass thru and swing awhile and promenade
By then I'll know for certain that you won't be coming back
But still I'll keep on hopin that you will someday
