A Country Boy Like Me

Circle Left
*I’ve been workin’ in the city, where I’ve earned my first pay
Thought that when I came here, it’s where I’d like to stay
Men Star Right, one time around,
Left Allemande and Weave around the town
This city life ain’t no place for a country boy like me
You can’t watch the river flow or see the tallest tree
I miss that old home cookin’ and walks down by the sea
This city sure ain’t no place for a country boy like me

*When I was young I couldn’t wait to ride on that freight train
For I knew that it would take me all the way to Caralayne

Heads/Sides Square Thru four hands you go,
DoSaDo the Corner, once around you go
Swing Thru and then, Boys Run to the Right
Ferris Wheel . . .   Do the Right and Left Thru
Half Sashay, U-Turn Back, that Corner Swing,
Swing that girl and Promenade the ring
I miss that old home cookin’ and walks down by the sea
This city sure ain’t no place for a country boy like me
