OPENER -
When I was young, wild and free, Walkin'
these hills in my bare feet
When I was
young, I remember well, I'd hunt the wild turkey and the bobwhite quail
Men star by the right and turn it one time and go to
the corner lady
Allemande left, come on and weave the ring
I live in the city, but I don't fit in
Swing with your girl and promenade, walkin' around
I've got no home and I've got no choice Lord
have mercy on a country boy
CLOSER Sides face, grand square
They dammed the river and they dammed the
stream
They cut down the cypress and the sweet gum trees
Now there's a laundromat and a barber shop
And now the whole meadow is a parking lot
4 boys promenade one time around
Come back home, swing and promenade the line
I've got no home and I've got no choice Lord
have mercy on a country boy
TAG Lord have mercy on a country boy
FIGURE Heads (sides)
........ swing the corner, promenade the ring
I've got no home and I've got no choice Lord
have mercy on a country boy
