two columns

OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER    Basic - SSD Week 4

Sides face, grand square
*The rain is falling lightly on the buildings and the cars
I've said good-bye to city friends department stores and bars
The lights of town are at my back my heart is full of stars
And I'm gonna be a country girl again

Allemande and weave
I'm gonna be country girl again
Swing the lady round and promenade go round my friend
I'll tell you all the lights of Broadway don't amount to an acre of green
And I'm gonna be a country girl again


ALTERNATE LYRICS

*I've spent my time in study - Oh, I've taken my degrees
And memorized my formulas, my As and Bs and Cs
But what I know came long ago and not from such as these
And I'm gonna be a country girl again


*I've wandered through the hearts of men searching for a sign
Here I might find happiness I might find peace of mind
But the one who taught my lessons was the soft wind through the pines
And I'm gonna be a country girl again


FIGURE    Basic - SSD Week 7, corner progression

Heads (Sides) lead to the right gonna veer to the left you see
Couples circulate chain down the line for me
Pass thru do a wheel & deal
The centers pass thru go right & left thru the outside two
Come on and square thru three hands, the corner lady swing
Swing that lady promenade go round the ring
I'll tell you all the lights of Broadway don't amount to an acre of green
And I'm gonna be a country girl again


TAG

I'll tell you all the lights of Broadway don't amount to an acre of green
And I'm gonna be a country girl again
