Fire On The Mountain
(ESP 1183) Elmer Sheffield/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 ¾,
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,
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
Four Ladies Chain, you turn that girl and then
You Rollaway, Circle Left go round
Four Ladies roll away, Circle Left and go
Left Allemande and Weave The 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.
