Fire On The Mountain
ESP 1183
Caller
Elmer Sheffield Jr. And Bronc Wise
OPENER
Circle left
Took my family away from our Carolina home
Had dreams about the west, and started out to roam
Left allemande, turn your partner by the right
Allemande left and weave
Six months out on a dust covered trail
Meet your girl and promenade her so well
Fire on the mountain, lightning in the air
Gold in them hills and it's waiting for me, there
FIGURE
Heads (Sides) pass thru, separate around 1 to a line
Star thru, double pass thru
Centers in, cast off 3/4
Forward and back
Star thru, centers pass thru
Swing and promenade
Fire on the mountain, lightning in the air
Gold in them hills and it's waiting for me, there
MIDDLE BREAK
Circle left
We were digging and sifting from 5 to 5
Selling everything we found, just to stay alive
Left allemande, turn your partner by the right
Allemande left and weave around that ring
Gold flowed free like the whiskey in a bar
Sinning was the big thing, and Satan was the star
Fire on the mountain, lightning in the air
Gold in them hills and it's waiting for me, there
CLOSER
4 men promenade one time around
Run on back and swing that girl around
Join hands and circle, go moving right along
Allemande left and weave around that ring
Men were shot down just for fun
Just to hear the noise of their 44 gun
And there's fire on the mountain, lightning in the air
Gold in them hills and it's waiting for me, there
TAG
Gold in them hills and it's waiting for me, there
