OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER
Allemande left and allemande thar, right and left and make a star
Boys you back 'em down that old line
Shoot that star like a daisy chain, right and left and then
Turn back to the corner, right hand round go forward two
Some sweet day meet your partner, turn thru that Sue
*Left allemande the corner, take partner promenade
I've been working out in the rain tied to a dirty ball and chain
Oh dear mother I'll come home some old day
ALTERNATE LYRICS
*Some day they'll turn me loose from this dirty calaboose
*Tell my brother, sister, dad, tell all the friends I had
FIGURE Mainstream, corner progression
1 & 3 pass thru, cloverleaf you do
2 & 4 square thru 3/4 too
Men lead with the left, reverse the flutter wheel
Dosado and you make an ocean wave
Swing thru two by two, turn thru that Sue
Left allemande the corner, come back a dosado
From that lady fair take a walk go round the square
Oh dear mother I'll come home some old day
