Aye me or the Simphony

Lead up a double, forward and back. Men back. Women back. Turn single.
All that again. |
First couple and last cast off and fall into the second and third place.
Change with your own. Go on the outside into the first and last place again. Then crossing
over, go on the outside into the second and third place, and in doing it, the men take the
other men by the hands and turn them about into the first and last place. Women doing the
like with the women. The other four as much. |
Side all into each other's places. Men back. Women back. Turn single. All
that again. |
The first couple open, the second close, the third open, the fourth
close, all at once. The first couple fall back into the second place, whilst the third
falls back into the fourth, the second slipping up into the first and the fourth into the
third place. Thus back again into your own place. Face downward and all this again. |
Arms as you sided. |
First couple and last meet, go through, change places with your own. The
first man take the fourth by the left with his right and turning off to the left change
places with him, staying in the second and third places. Change with your own whilst the
women do the like. The other four as much. |
