OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER    Basic - SSD Week 4

Sides face, grand square
*Whoa, the Whippoorwill roost on the telephone pole
And the Georgia sun goes down
Well, it's been a long time
But I'm glad to say that I'm
Goin' back down to my hometown

Allemande and weave
Don't it make you wanna go home, now
Don't it make you wanna go home
All God's children get weary when they roam
Don't it make you wanna go home


ALTERNATE LYRICS

*Goin' down to the Greyhound station
Gonna buy me a one-way fare
Good Lord's willin' and the creeks don't rise
By tomorrow I'll be right there


*There's a drag strip down by the riverside
Where my grandma's cow used to graze
Now, the grass don't grow and the river don't flow
Like it did in my childhood days


FIGURE    Basic - SSD Week 6, corner progression

Heads (Sides) ladies chain
Heads (Sides) promenade halfway
Lead right, veer left
Bend the line, reverse flutter wheel
Square thru 3
Swing and promenade
All God's children get weary when they roam
Don't it make you wanna go home
