Gone But Not Forgotten
(RIV 416) Elmer Sheffield
OPENER
Circle Left
As a younger man, I moved up to Alaska
Gotta bring that money home from Prudhoe Bay
Left Allemande the corner, Turn a Right hand 'round the partner
Men Star Left around that way
Gonna Turn your Partner Right and go Left Allemande
Swing a little girl and Promenade
I think about that money often
But it's gone...but not forgotten yet
FIGURE
Heads Square Thru in the middle and get 4 hands around
Make a Right Hand Star and roll it 'round
Sides Star Left turn it one time he said
Everybody Veer Left, Chain Down The Line
Turn the girl around, Square Thru go 3
Take that corner, Promenade
I've shed a tear, but I've got no regrets
It's gone...but not forgotten yet
MIDDLE BREAK
Circle Left
Had a shimp boat by the bay named Pollyana
Spent more time on the sea than on the shore
Left Allemande the corner, Turn a Right hand 'round the partner
Men Star Left around that way
Gonna Turn your Partner Right and go Left Allemande
Swing a little girl and Promenade
I miss ol' Pollyana often
But she's gone...but not forgotten yet
CLOSER
Circle Left
Senorita from old El Paso
Had to lasso her, and she was quite a catch
Left Allemande the corner, Turn a Right hand 'round the partner
Men Star Left around that way
Gonna Turn your Partner Right and go Left Allemande
Swing a little girl and Promenade
I think about that senorita often
But she's gone...but not forgotten yet
TAG
Lord, she's gone...but not forgotten yet
