INTRODUCTION:
SIDES FACE, GRAND SQUARE
I'VE BEEN AROUND THE WORLD A COUPLE OF TIMES OR MAYBE MORE
I'VE SEEN THE SIGHTS, I'VE HAD DELIGHTS ON EVERY FOREIGN SHORE
BUT WHEN MY FRIENDS ALL ASK ME WHAT'S THE PLACE THAT I ADORE
I TELL THEM RIGHT AWAY, CIRCLE LEFT
GIVE ME A HOME AMOUNG THE GUM TREE
WITH LOTS OF PLUM TREES, AN ALLEMANDE LEFT & PROMENADE
A CLOTHES-LINE OUT THE BACK, VERANDER OUT THE FRONT
AND AN OLD ROCKING CHAIR
FIGURE:
THE HEADS SQUARE THRU, FOUR HANDS AROUND YOU GO
MEET YOUR CORNER, MAKE A RIGHT HAND STAR YOU KNOW
HEADS STAR LEFT, AND GO ONCE AROUND THE TOWN
TO THE SAME TWO, AND THEN SWING THRU
BOY TRADE, TURN THRU
ALLEMENDE LEFT YOUR CORNER GIRL AND PROMENADE YOU DO
THERE'S A CLOTHES-LINE OUT THE BACK, VERANDA OUT THE FRONT
AND AN OLD ROCKING CHAIR

ALLEMANDE LEFT ALAMO STYLE, YOU BALANCE UP N' BACK
SWING THRU, FORWARD DOWN THE TRACK
YOU BALANCE UP N' BACK, SWING THRU AND THEN
TURN YOUR PARTNER BY THE RIGHT, ALLEMANDE LEFT AND WEAVE THE RING
GIVE ME A HOME AMONG THE GUM TREES
WITH LOTS OF PLUM TREES, A SHEEP OR TWO AND A KANGAROO (Or: SWING & PROMENADE)
