Amanda   (Hi Hat 5228 )   Tom Perry

OPENER - ENDING



Circle left
* I've held it all inward, Lord knows I've tried
It's an awful awakening in a country boy's life

Allemande your corner, All eight spin the top
Boy move up and box the gnat and weave the ring
Amanda, light of my life - Fate should have made you a gentleman's wife
(Promenade)
Amanda light of my life - Fate should have made you a gentleman's wife

FIGURE



Head two you promenade halfway around the ring
Down the middle and pass the ocean, extend
Spin the top, girl move up and then
Single hinge, boy run around the girl and do a dosado
Swing thru now
Swing and whirl the pretty little girl and promenade
Amanda, light of my life - Fate should have made you a gentleman's wife

MIDDLE



Four ladies promenade, go once around the ring
Gonna' get on home and swing the man, Everybody swing
Join your hands and circle to the left and walk around you go
Allemande left with the corner girl and weave the ring you know
Amanda, light of my life - Fate should have made you a gentleman's wife
(Promenade)
Amanda, light of my life - Fate should have made you a gentleman's wife

TAG



Bow to the partner, corner too, that's it gang we're thru

ALTERNATIVE LYRICS



* It's a measure of people who don't understand
The pleasures of life in a hillbilly band
