Gold Rush Town

Tim Tyl

Circle Left
When Tommy Jones and Tammy Jansen finally said I do
All the girls livin’ ‘round here all said we will too
Men Star Right -- the rumors started, the fever it got hot
Find the Corner Girl, Left Allemande, and Weave around the Ring
There’s a Gold Rush, on my stompin’ ground
Lots of fingers itchin’ here to wrap a ring around
A Lot of feet are runnin’ lookin’ for an aisle to walk down
Here in the middle of a gold rush town

Sides Face, Grand Square
Well Shelly started callin’ and she wants to make things right
Holly up and kissed me at the dance on Friday night
Karen started askin’, where do we go from here
Julie called me up to tell me what size ring she wears
Four Ladies Chain across the ring, on your stompin’ ground
Chain that Lady back, turn her and Promenade around
Lots of fingers itchin’ here to wrap a ring around
Just livin' in the middle of a gold rush town

Now all the boys that live ‘round here are droppin’ just like flies
Gettin’ down on one knee, lookin’ for a ring that they can buy
I ain’t the kind to settle down, but boys I’ll tell ya this
It ain’t hard to stake a claim if you’re ready to get hitched
Four Boys Promenade on your stompin’ ground
Back home Star Thru, California Twirl and Promenade
Lots of fingers itchin’ here to wrap a ring around
Just livin' in the middle of a gold rush town

Heads/Sides Pass the Ocean, Swing Thru right there
Extend ahead, hang on by the Right, Cast Off 3/4 Round
Make a brand new wave, Centers Trade, Boys Run Right
Boys Reverse Flutter Wheel, get a girl bring her back right out
And Circle to the Right, and Boys Center and Girls Sashay
New Corner do an Allemande Left, come back and Promenade
They all got a hope chest, but they want a weddin’ gown
Livin’ in the middle of a gold rush town

Livin' in the middle of a gold rush town
...an' if you say "I do," I will too!
