Almost Jamaica
Bellamy Brothers 1998

two columns

OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER    Basic - SSD Week 4

Sides face, grand square
*She was born in Dakota
Where she froze to death each winter
But she dreamed about the Islands
By the fire burning splendor

Allemande left and weave
It was almost Jamaica
Almost Paradise
It was almost Jamaica
It was almost real nice


ALTERNATE LYRICS (CLOSER)

*Electric fan on the table
Shower is her waterfall
She may never have Jamaica
But in her mind she has it all


FIGURE    Basic, corner progression

Heads promenade go halfway
Down the middle square thru
Go all the way and a right & left thru
Veer left, ferris wheel
Square thru go three now
Swing corner and promenade
It was almost Jamaica
It was almost real nice


MIDDLE BREAK    Basic - SSD Week 4

Sides face, grand square
(music only for 32 beats)
Four ladies promenade inside now
Swing that lady and promenade
It was almost Jamaica
It was almost real nice


TAG

It was almost Jamaica
It was almost real nice
