Notes:
In the Cast & Lead you are dancing around a circle; I think the flow will be best if you keep turning in which ever direction you are turning to face out for the Lead Out.

Michael Barraclough says, "There is a second tune by David Fleming-Williams (who wrote the original) and both are published in Tom Cook & Mike Wilson-Jones' Grand master Dancing Master. The original tune is seemingly unknown in the USA where they dance the dance to the tune Moon and Seven Stars (which can be found in Barnes 3)."
