Food On The Table    (TB 240)   Tommy Russell

Circle left



He was at his best when the goin' got rough
Allemande your corner, come back a dosado
Four men star left one time around you go
You turn your partner right, left allemande
Swing with your own, promenade round the land
**He made a livin' for his family and never had to cheat
To put foo on our table, and shoes on our feet

FIGURE



Heads (sides) promenade halfway round you go
Lead to the right, then do a dosado
Make a wave, spin the top, girls don't be late
Cast off 3/4, all eight circulate
Boys run right, pass thru, left allemande
Swing your corner, promenade the land
We had patches on our britches, but Mama kept us neat
Cause we had food on our table, and shoes on our feet

ALTERNATE LYRICS



*Well today it's the same, no matter where you go
If you're gonna stay ahead, you've got to stay on your toes

**You've got to be a winner, can't believe in defeat



TAG



You've got to be a winner, can't believe in defeat
