OPENER Basic - SSD Week 1
Circle left
It rained all night the day I left, the weather it was dry
The sun so hot I froze to death, Susanna, don't you cry
Allemande left your corner, turn a right hand round your own
4 men star by the left in the middle it's once around you roam
Turn the partner by the right, the corner allemande
Swing & whirl your lady go round and you promenade the land
Oh! Susanna, don't you cry for me
For I came from Alabama with a banjo on my knee
FIGURE Mainstream, corner progression
Heads (sides) square thru in the middle, let 'er go, let 'er go
To the corner of the hall, a right & left thru and turn the girl
Swing thru, come a two by two, spin your top for me
Boys move up, a right and left thru and turn the girl you see
Slide thru, pass thru, do a U-turn back and swing
Swing and whirl the lady go round and you promenade the ring
Oh! Susanna, don't you cry for me
For I came from Alabama with a banjo on my knee
