I met her in a
truck stop - in some little Texas town
She just looked up from the counter
Surprised that anyone would come around
ALLEMANDE LEFT - WEAVE THE RING
Just another boring day - out on the Interstate Highway
(Figure 1): The HEADS SQUARE THRU FOUR HANDS - all the way you go - DO SA DO
SWING THRU tonight - ACEY DEUCEY - and the BOYS RUN - CROSSFIRE here - CO-ORDINATE
BEND THE LINE - SQUARE THRU THREE - you SWING the Girl and PROMENADE her back home
MUSICAL TAG
(Figures 2 & 3): The HEADS (SIDES) PROMENADE and travel - HALFWAY around the ring
Come down the middle - and TOUCH A QUARTER - WALK ‘N’ DODGE - TOUCH A QUARTER
FOLLOW YOUR NEIGHBOUR - AND SPREAD - SPIN THE TOP - GRAND SWING THRU
EXPLODE AND SWING her - and PROMENADE - the Lady back home
MUSICAL TAG
(Figure 4): The SIDES SQUARE THRU FOUR HANDS - all the way around - DO SA DO
You SWING THRU tonight - ACEY DEUCEY - and the BOYS RUN - CROSSFIRE - CO-ORDINATE
BEND THE LINE - and the BOYS FOLD - SWING her and PROMENADE her home again
MUSICAL TAG
Saturday nights she
spent all her time 'round the wishing well
Drinkin' beers throwing coins and curses on almost anything
ALLEMANDE
LEFT - WEAVE THE RING
But there is one
thing I could tell - one night she went to the well
Collected the coins and drank up everybody's dreams
She was a
sweetheart - If there ever was one
She was a sweetheart - But we were havin' all the fun
ALLEMANDE LEFT - and WEAVE
She was a sweetheart - If there ever was one
She was a sweetheart - If there ever was one

ORIGINAL LYRICS:
I met
her in a truckstop
In some little Texas town
She just looked up from the counter
Surprised that anyone would come around
Just another boring day Out on the Interstate Highway
She
said "Hey you guys where are you heading to?
Try some of my Mexican stew!"
I said "I guess we'll take anything as long as it's served by you"
She was
a sweetheart
If there ever was one
She was a sweetheart
But we were havin' all the fun
I said
"If you have the time come and keep us company" She said "Time
is the one thing
that always comes plenty to me - by the way are you on your own
or did you leave someone like someone just left me
She was a sweetheart...
On
saturday nights She spent all her time
'Round the wishingwheel
Drinkin' beers Throwing coins and curses On almost anything
But there is one thing I could tell
One night she went to the wheel
Collected the coins and drank up Everybody's dreams
solo
She
said "I was married twice but we blew it all up!
And now I'm hanging around with the last single man in this town
And if anything is happening anywhere he and I - We'll be the ones to
care"
She was
a sweetheart...
She was a sweetheart...
