Bobby McGeeRIV-452
Elmer Sheffield Jr.

OPENER

Circle Left
Busted flat in Baton Rouge, waitin' for the train
Feeling nearly faded as my jeans

Left Allemande the Corner, Turn a Right hand 'round your own
The Men Star Left and roll it 'round I sing
Turn the Partner Right and you go Left Allemande
Swing your girl and you Promenade
I'd give all of my tomorrows for a single yesterday
Holdin' Bobby's body close to mine

BREAK

Sides face, Grand Square
From the coal mines of Kentucky to the California shore
Bobby shared the secrets of my soul
She stood right there beside me and everything I'd done
And every night she kept me from the cold

Circle Left
Freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose
Left Allemande and Promenade
I'd give all of my tomorrows for a single yesterday
Holdin' Bobby's body close to mine

CLOSER

Circle Left
Busted flat in Baton Rouge, waitin' for the train
Feeling nearly faded as my jeans

Left Allemande the Corner, Turn a Right hand 'round your own
Left Allemande, now, Weave that ol' Ring now
Freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose
Swing your girl and you Promenade now
I'd give all of my tomorrows for a single yesterday
Holdin' Bobby's body close to mine

FIGURE

Heads/Sides Square Thru in the middle, get four hands around
To the corner, Do Sa Do
Swing Thru and then, we're gonna Spin the Top
Boys move up and now, Square Thru...go to 3
Chase Right, and the Corner Swing
Swing the girl around and you Promenade that ring
I'd give all of my tomorrows for a single yesterday
Holdin' Bobby's body close to mine

TAG

Yes, holding Bobby's body close to mine
