Erin Tennessee Female version in key of A

Sides Face, Grand Square
He left Ireland and crossed the Atlantic
At home once more there was no work to find
With a heavy heart he had to make that journey
With thoughts of friends and loved ones on his mind
Allemande and Weave
He landed in New York then traveled southwards
'Cause city life was never meant to be
He thinks it must’ve been God’s plan to lead him
To a little town called Erin Tennessee

Now very soon he met a pretty lady
She set his heart a whirlin’ all could see
He wanted her to be his one and only
His southern belle from Erin Tennessee
...
As they walked the hills he told her of his homeland
Far across the sea
He found love in that little bit of Ireland
Called Erin Tennessee

We settled on green rollin’ pastures
It was there that he took my hand
And we lived and loved and raised our children
Far away from his own native land
...
Now he often tells us of his homeland
Far across the sea
But, we have a  little bit of Ireland
Here in Erin Tennessee

Heads/Sides you Promenade and take it halfway
Down the middle, Star Thru and then, Pass Thru
Touch 1/4, do a Walk and Dodge
Partner Trade and do a Right & Left Thru
Pass the Ocean here, and the Boys Cross Fold
Swing the Corner Lady, Promenade
He thinks it must’ve been God’s plan to lead him
To a little town called Erin Tennessee

Here in Erin Tennessee
