OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER Basic
Circle left
*I love to hear the fiddle, the banjo, and guitar
A honky tonk piano, playing at the bar
You walk around that corner, see saw the one you know
Allemande left your corner, weave the ring
**Let your feet feel the rhythm as you're dancing to the band
Swing your partner round and promenade that land
Brighten up your life and dance for a while
Feel that country rhythm in your soul
ALTERNATE LYRICS
*Now there's the autoharp, and the mandolin
The dobro and the bass, they will all join in
**The harmonica is chuggin', chuggin' like a train
The steel guitar and drums, they're doing just the same
Brighten up your life and dance for a while
Feel that country rhythm in your soul
*The mandolin starts pickin, harmonica joins in
Sounds just like a train, comin round the bend
**The sound of rhythm sticks on a wooden block
Steel guitar joins in and really makes it rock
Brighten up your life and dance for a while
Feel that country rhythm in your soul
FIGURE Mainstream, corner progression
Heads (Sides) promenade now, halfway round you go
Side (Head) two go right & left thru, turn the girl you know
Sides (Heads) square thru four hands, go moving round that floor
Dosado and do an eight chain four
Listen to the Fiddle...listen to the Banjo...listen to the Steel Guitar...gimme some Harmonica...
Swing the corner lady, and promenade that land
Brighten up your life and dance for a while
Feel that country rhythm in your soul
