Gonna build a mountain - from a little hill
Gonna build me a mountain - least I hope I will
- FOUR LADIES CHAIN - across and back
Gonna build a mountain - gonna build it high - PROMENADE
I don't know how I'm gonna do it - I only know I'm gonna
try
(Figure): HEADS LEAD RIGHT - TOUCH A QUARTER you do - SCOOTBACK - BOYS you RUN
PASS THE OCEAN - BOYS CIRCULATE - GIRLS you TRADE and then - SWING THRU
BOYS RUN - GIRLS you TRADE again - TAG THE LINE all the way - FACE LEFT and PROMENADE
I don't know how I'm gonna do it - I only know I'm gonna try
Gonna build a daydream - from a little hope
Gonna push that daydream - up the mountain slope
- FOUR LADIES CHAIN - across and back
Gonna build a daydream - gonna see it through - PROMENADE
Gonna build a mountain and a daydream
- gonna make them both come true
Gonna build a heaven - from a little hell
Gonna build me a heaven - and I know darn well
- FOUR LADIES CHAIN - across and back
If I build my mountain - with a lot of care - PROMENADE
And take my daydream up the mountain
- and heaven will be waiting there
SWING your Girl
And take my daydream up the mountain
- and heaven will be waiting there
ALLEMANDE LEFT and you SWING - Gonna - build - me - a – mou – n - tain
ORIGINAL LYRICS:
Gonna
build a mountain - from a little hill
Gonna build me a mountain - least I hope I will
Gonna build a mountain - gonna build it high
I don't know how I'm gonna do it - I only know I'm gonna try
Gonna build me a daydream - from a little hope
Gonna push that daydream - up the mountain slope
Gonna build a daydream - gonna see it through
Gonna build a mountain and a daydream - gonna make them both come true
Gonna build a heaven - from a little hell
Gonna build me a heaven - and I know darn well
If I build my mountain - with a lot of care
And take my daydream up the mountain - and heaven will be
waiting there...
When I build that heaven - as I will someday
And the lord sends Gabriel - to take me away
I want a fine young son - to take my place
I'd leave a son in my heaven on earth - With the good lord's praise
With a fine young son - to take my place
I'd leave a son in my heaven on earth - With the good lord's praise
Gonna build me a mountain
