Lord Have Mercy On A Country Boy

Circle Left
Well, I grew up wild and free
Walkin' these fields in my barefeet
Left Allemande your Corner, DoSaDo your own
Left Allemande your Corner, Weave the Ring you know
Well, I live in the city but don't fit in
You know it's a pity the shape I'm in
Well, I got no home and I got no choice
Oh, Lord, have mercy on a country boy

When I was young I remember well
I'd hunt the wild turkey and the bobwhite quail

Well, they damned the river, they damned the stream
They cut down the Cyprus and the Sweetgum trees

Heads / Sides Promenade her halfway around
Walk in, Touch 1/4, Boy Run Right and now
Do the Right & Left Thru and turn, Veer Left for me
Those Couples Circulate one time, Half Tag you see
Follow Your Neighbor and Spread, those Girls Trade twice
Boys Run Right and Promenade around so nice
Well, I got no home and I got no choice
Oh, Lord, have mercy on a country boy

Oh, Lord, have mercy on a countrrrrrrrrrry boy
