Those Were The Days Key of A (female version)

Krista Baird

Sides Face, Grand Square
Once upon a time there was a tavern
Where we used to raise a glass or two
Remember how we laughed away the hours
And dreamed of all the great things we would do
Circle Left
Those were the days, my friend, we thought they’d never end
Left Allemande, Swing and Promenade
We lived the life we choose, we’d fight and never lose
Those were the days, oh yes, those were the days

Through the door there came familiar laughter
I saw your face and heard you call my name
Oh my friend, we’re older but no wiser
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

Head/Side two couples Square Thru, count it four hands
All the way and make a Right Hand Star
Heads/Sides Star Left and roll it one time
Same two, you do a DoSaDo
Swing Thru then, the Boys will Trade, my friend
Swing the Corner girl and Promenade
We lived the life we choose, we’d fight and never lose
Those were the days, oh yes, those were the days

We lived the life we choose, we’d fight and never lose
Those were the days, oh yes, those were the days
