OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER A1
Allemande left that corner girl, turn your partner right hand round
Four ladies promenade, go once around that town
Swing and whirl that pretty little girl, promenade by two
Head couples wheel around and do a right & left thru
Then cross trail to the corner, and go left allemande
Come back and dosado and promenade that land
Here Rattler, here, here...
Here Rattler, here,
Call old Rattler from the barn
Here Rattler, here
FIGURE Mainstream, R-H lady progression
1 & 3 promenade about half around you go
Down the middle and slide thru, do a right & left thru you know
Turn that girl and square thru 3/4 round from there
Do a left square thru the outside two 4 hands around out there
Four hands around, left allemande and walk on by your maid
Swing the right hand lady and then you promenade
*Once I had a good old dog, and Rattler was his name
With big floppy ears and a sad face, but I loved him just the same
ALTERNATE LYRICS
*Old Rattler was a good old dog, but he just couldn't tree
And every time I'd leave the house, he'd tag along with me
Old Rattler's gettin' kinda old, I've had him many a year
I better call old Rattler from the barn, here Rattler, here
*It ain't no use goin' huntin' Jake, old Rattler's kinda blind
He'd rather sleep in that dad-blamed barn, we'll go some other time
