Texas Tea
(BR 240) Bobby Lepard
OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER
Grand Square
*I was just a poor boy
Who lived on forty acres of bad land
I remember how she laughed
The day I asked Joanna for her hand (Circle Left)
She called me a Plow Boy and said she couldn't love the likes of me
Left Allemande and Promenade
But back then we didn't know
I would soon discover Texas Tea
FIGURE
Heads Promenade halfway round the ring you're gonna go
2 & 4 Go Right and Left Thru
Square Thru and go four hands around you know...
Right and Left Thru turn the girl, Slide Thru and Load the Boat
....
That Corner Swing and Promenade
But back then we didn't know
I would soon discover Texas Tea
TAG
Yeah, Goodbye Joanna, I've got to see about my Texas Tea
ADDITIONAL LYRICS
*Where once stood my cabin
I live in a Southern mansion now
I gaze at the oil wells
Standin' on the ground I used to plow (Circle Left)
Yes there's someone comin'
I think it's Joanna that I see
Well I haven't seen her since
Back before I found my Texas Tea
*You're welcome Joanna
It's always good to see an old, old friend
Yes, I still remember I loved you
And I begged you for your hand (Circle Left)
But I'm just a Plow Boy
You said you couldn't love the likes of me
So Goodbye Joanna
I've got to see about my Texas Tea
