Rivers of Babylon
(SSR 164)
Hans Pettersson
OPENER - CLOSER
Circle left
By the rivers of Babylon
There is a town
Now the men star right
You roll it one time around, allemande left and weave
By the rivers of Babylon
Swing your girl and promenade
And there we wept
When we remembered Zion
FIGURE
Heads promenade half around the ring
Sides pass the ocean there, extend
Relay the deucey, here we go Lucy
In a strange land
Carry us away across the sea
Swing your corner and promenade
How shall we sing our song
In a strange land
MIDDLE BREAK
Sides face, grand square
Let the words of our mouths
And the meditation of our hearts
Be acceptable in thy sight
Here tonight allemande and weave
Let the words of our mouths
Swing the lady and promenade
Be acceptable in thy sight
Here tonight
TAG
Swing your girl
And there we wept
When we remembered Zion
