Teach
your children Well (KDM
146) Chris & Hayley Froggatt (Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young) 1970
Circle Left
4 Men Star by the Right, one time and go
Allemande Left with the corner, Weave the Ring now
Swing your girl, Promenade around the ring there
FIGURE
Heads Square Thru, 4 hands and go
When you Meet those 2, Circle up 4
Break out and Make a Line of 4
Dance Up to the
Middle and Back you do
Pass Thru, with a Wheel and Deal
And so, become
yourself, because the past (is
just a goodbye)
MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER
Sides
Teach, your children well
Their father's hell, did slowly go by
And feed, them on your dreams
The one they pick’s, the one you'll know
by
Allemande and Weave
Don't you ever
ask them why, if they
told you, you would cry
So just look at
them and sigh….
And know they
love you
TAG
And know they love you
ORIGINAL LYRICS
You, who are on the road
Must have a code
That you can live by
And so become yourself
Because the past is just a goodbye
Teach your children well
Their father's hell
Did slowly go by
And feed them on your dreams
The one they pick's, the one you'll know by
Don't you ever ask them, "Why?"
If they told you, you would cry
So, just look at them and sigh
And know they love you
And you, of tender years (can you hear and
do you care)
Can't know the fears (and can't you see)
That your elders grew by (we must be free)
And, so, please help them with your youth (to teach your children what you
believe in)
They seek the truth (make a world that we can live in)
Before they can die
Teach your parents well
Their children's hell
Will slowly go by
And feed them on your dreams
The one they pick's the one you'll know by
Don't you ever ask them, "Why?"
If they told you, you would cry
So, just look at them and sigh
And know they love you
