Down On The Bayou
  (Solid Gold 214)   Tom Manning
 
two columns

OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK    Basic - SSD Week 1

Circle left
* I like the taste of gumbo and the sound of a cajun band
Men star right, roll it one time
Left allemande and weave
**I like laying with you in the shade
Swing your girl around, promenade
I want to be by you down on the bayou
Holding you in cajun land


ALTERNATE LYRICS

* Down on the banks of a river
Where the live oak moss hangs down


**Drinking wine and mint juleps

FIGURE    Mainstream, corner progression

Heads (sides) promenade and go halfway
Sides (heads) square thru go four, go all the way
You do the right & left thru
Eight chain six that way
Holding you tight in the moonlight
Swing that corner girl and promenade
I want to be by you down on the bayou
Holding you in cajun land


CLOSER    Basic - SSD Week 4

Sides face grand square
I want to be by you down on the bayou
Spending all my days
Having fun, laughing in the sun
Watching the muskrats play

Circle left
Holding you tight in the moonlight
Left allemande, swing and promenade
I want to be by you down on the bayou
Holding you in cajun land


TAG

Sides face grand square
I want to be by you down on the bayou
Holding you in cajun land
I want to be by you down on the bayou
Holding you in cajun land
