Holding The Bag
Caller: Mel Wilkerson
CBC-13
OPENER
Allemande Left in the Alamo Style, you Balance in and out,
Swing Thru, go two by two, you Balance again,
Swing Thru go two by two, those boys run right,
Do a Partner Trade, Left Allemande, Weave that ring tonight,
Don't you think it's gettin' pretty heavy to drag,
Swing that girl around and Promenade her, don't lag,
You may think it's funny, but it ain't no gag,
How come you always leave me holdin' the bag?
FIGURE1 Mainstream
Heads Square thru 4, Split two, Around 1 to a line, Pass thru,
Tag the line, Cloverleaf, Double Pass thru, Face in
Slide thru, Swing & promenade.
You may think it's funny, but it ain't no gag,
How come you always leave me holdin' the bag?
MIDDLE BREAK Mainstream
Sides face, grand square,
Remember down in Austin, that time that we got tight?,
You told that "Good old boy" I wanted a fight,
Now I guest you thought I'd take him, and you thought I could win,
I guess that is the reason that you didn't step in,
4 ladies promenade go inside the ring,
Well you're gonna get back home, swing and promenade,
You almost got me killed when you started to brag,
Thats when you ran out ... and left me holding the bag.
CLOSER
4 Boys promenade go inside the ring,
Get on back home and everybody will swing,
Join hands and circle to the left I sing,
Left allemande and weave that ol' ring,
Don't you think it's gettin' pretty heavy to drag,
Swing your girl and promenade,
You think it's funny, but it ain't no gag,
How come you always leave me holding the bag?
