OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER Mainstream
Join hands and circle left around you go
Left allemande the corner, do a dosado
Men star left go once around and then
Turn thru, left allemande and weave around the bend
Got fishin' lines strung across the Louisiana River
Gotta catch a big fish for us to eat
Dosado and promenade her home around the land
I've gotta make a livin', I'm a Louisiana man
FIGURE A1, corner progression
Heads (sides) promenade 3/4 round the world
2 & 4 (1 & 3) a right & left thru and turn your girl
Pass thru, circle four, and break and make a line
Forward up and back, a right & left thru in time
Cross trail thru, the corner lady swing
Swing this lady round and promenade the ring
Set the traps in the swamp, catchin' what I can
I gotta make a livin', I'm a Louisiana man
FIGURE (ALTERNATE)
Heads (sides) pass the ocean, swing thru and then
Boys run to the right, stroll & cycle my friend
Couples trade same line, and then you bend the line
Forward up and back, a right & left thru in time
Pass thru, chase right and when you catch sweet thing
Swing the corner lady and promenade the ring
Set the traps in the swamp, catchin' what I can
I gotta make a livin', I'm a Louisiana man
