Poor Boy (MR 30) Eddie Millan

OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK

4 ladies chain 3/4 and go
Roll away and circle left you know
4 ladies roll away, circle and then
Left allemande and weave the ring
*Way up in Memphis they were playing the blues
Swing your girl and promenade her too
Just like a river, reckon I was born to run
Dosado and promenade your best
I can't let it go, I've got to hold on
To this feeling

FIGURE

Heads (sides) promenade go halfway
Sides (heads) square thru and go
And do the right & left thru and turn 'em
Pass thru, trade by, eight chain 4
Poor boy, poor boy
Swing the corner, promenade
Poor boy, poor boy, all alone

ALTERNATE LYRICS

*Just like the sunshine sets in the west

CLOSER

Sides face grand square
In Alabama where I was born
Knee high in cotton, blue jeans were torn
I was a dreamer singing my songs to the sun
4 ladies promenade and go once around and then
Swing your girl and promenade again
I can't let it go, I've got to hold on to this feeling
