That's How I Got To Be This Way
ESP 1136
Caller Elmer Sheffield Jr.
OPENER
Circle left
I've got a long list of real good reasons
For all the things I've done
Left allemande the corner lady, turn partner by the right
And the men star left and roll it 'round tonight
Turn the partner right, and go left allemande, promenade
Oh, regret's just a memory written on my brow
But there's nothin' I can do about it, now
FIGURE
Heads square thru count 'em 4 hands round
You make a right hand star
The heads star left, roll it one time and then
Same pair and do a dosado
Swing thru and then the boys trade
Swing the corner lady round and promenade
I know just what I'd change if I went back in time
But there's nothin' I can do about it, now
MIDDLE BREAK
Circle left
Got a wild and restless spirit
I held my price through every deal
Left allemande corner lady
Turn your partner right and men star left in the middle
Now turn the partner right, and go left allemande, promenade
I know just what I'd change if I went back in time
But there's nothin' I can do about it, now
CLOSER
Circle left
Well I could cry for all the time I've wasted
That's a waste of time and tears
Left allemande the corner lady, turn your partner by the right
And the men star left and roll it 'round tonight
Now turn the partner right, and go left allemande, promenade
I'm forgiving everything that forgiveness will allow
But there's nothin' I can do about it, now
TAG
No, there's nothin' I can do about it, now
