No Country Music For Old Men - ESP 1187
by Elmer Sheffield Jr.

Opener

Sides face Grand Square:

He remembers when Hank played the Opry as high as a kite,

And Patsy Cline was out walking after midnight,

Allemande and weave around the ring,

He saw the torch being passed from Lefty over to Merle,

Now there ain't no country music for old men.

Figure

Heads square thru 4 hands around you know,

Touch 1/4, Scoot back, Boys fold, Girls extend,

Girls swing thru, Center girls Trade,  Girls step ahead and Star thru, All Promenade,

Now there ain't no country music for old men.


Break

Sides face Grand Square:

He was sitting on a bar stool the first time he heard Jolene,

A song by the prettiest angel he'd ever seen,

Allemande and weave around the ring,

Now there's posers and losers and would be outlaws that only know how to pretend,

But there ain't no country music for old men.


Figure

Sides square thru 4 hands around you know,

Touch 1/4, Scoot back, Boys fold, Girls extend,

Girls swing thru, Center girls Trade,  Girls step ahead and Star thru, All Promenade,

Now there ain't no country music for old men.


Closer

Sides face Grand Square:

Now they call him nostalgic, with a permanent case of the blues,

He just walks around wondering whose gonna fill their shoes,

Allemande and weave that ring,

Now all of the good ones have died or  they've just packed in,

There ain't no country music for old men.
