OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK Basic - SSD Week 4
Sides face, grand square
*I ain't gonna work on the railroad
No, I ain't gonna work on the farm
I'm gonna lay around this shack, 'til the mail train comes back
And I'll be rollin' in my sweet...
Allemande and weave the ring
Rollin' in my sweet baby's arms
Swing that girl around and promenade
I'm gonna lay around the shack, 'til the mail train comes back
And I'll be rollin' in my sweet baby's arms
ALTERNATE LYRICS
*Well, where were you last Saturday night
While I was hanging out in jail
You walked in the streets with some other man
You wouldn't go my bail...
FIGURE Basic - SSD Week 9, corner progression
Heads square thru in the middle, count four hands
Meet that corner girl and swing thru
Boys run right and then, chain down the line my friend
Girls lead and flutter wheel, across the ring now
Pass the ocean then, swing thru again
Swing that corner girl and promenade
I'm gonna lay around the shack, 'til the mail train comes back
And I'll be rollin' in my sweet baby's arms
CLOSER Basic - SSD Week 1
Four ladies promenade around the inside
Get back home and swing your man around
Join hands and circle to the left you go 'round and then
Left allemande and weave around the ring
Rollin' in my baby's arms
Swing that girl around and promenade
I'm gonna lay around the shack, 'til the mail train comes back
And I'll be rollin' in my sweet baby's arms
