On the Trail of the Lonesome Pine
Composed by: Don Armstrong
Type: Singing Square

OPENER, MIDDLE BREAK and CLOSER:
Well, you walk around your corner, then bow to your own
Join your hands and around the ring you roam
Allemande your corner lady, then w-e-a-v-e that ring
Weave it around 'til you meet again
Do-sa-do, then you take her and swing
Yes, swing—promenade her and sing
ALL SING - "In the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia on the trail of the lonesome pine."

Walk around corners, bow to partners, all join hands and circle left. Allemande left with corners and weave the ring, as in a grand right and left, but not touching. On meeting partner across the set, do-sa-do, swing and promenade home.

FIGURE:
Two head gents take you corners to the middle and back
Same old four circle left around the track
Left hand star, go home, Allemande right your own
Left hand round your corner, then go back home
Do-sa-do, then your corners you'll swing
Yes, swing—promenade her and sing
ALL SING - "In the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia on the trail of the lonesome pine."

Gents 1 and 3 take corner ladies to center and back, same four circle left inside set. Change circle to left hand star back to home position, Allemande right partners. Do left hand turn with corners, do-sa-do partners and swing partners. Swing corners, who become new partners, then promenade full around set to gent's home positions.

REPEAT FIGURE with head gents active again
REPEAT OPENER for middle break
REPEAT FIGURE with side gents active
REPEAT FIGURE with side gents active again
REPEAT OPENER for closer
