Out Behind The Barn / Outback Little Jimmy Dickens 1954 | (Dance Ranch 1074) Brian Hotchkies |
OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER Basic - SSD Week 1
4 ladies promenade once around the farm
Home you go and swing your own
(Everybody) join hands, circle to the left
Go moving round the hall
Left allemande the corner and weave the ring you all
*Well, I got my education out behind the barn
Swing with your girl and promenade her
**I passed each examination on Ralph and Betty's farm
I got my education out behind the barn
ALTERNATE LYRICS
*I tasted my first moonshine out behind the barn
**Well my face went red my lips turned blue
We just had time to make ballou
Wish I took that awful brew, out behind the barn
*I met a pretty girl one day out behind the barn
**Well she was scared and I was, too
But the things we figured out to do
Boy that made your hair turn blue, out behind the barn
FIGURE Mainstream, corner progression
Heads (sides) pass thru, partner trade and you back away
Sides (heads) a right & left thru, I say
Square thru now 4 hands there, walking round the floor
Dosado the corner and do an eight chain 4
*I met a pretty girl one day out behind the barn
Swing the corner girl and promenade her
**She taught me how to kiss and pet, that's one day I won't forget
We still play the same game yet, out behind the barn
ALTERNATE LYRICS
*I smoked my first cigarette out behind the barn
**Well I got so sick you should have seen how that tobacco turned me green
I almost died of nicotine, out behind the barn
*My Pappy used to tan my hide out behind the barn
**Well he laid me down across his knees and he put his strap to me
He shore did hurt my dignity, out behind the barn
*I wish that I could go again out behind the barn
**Well you may think it ain't no fun to be a poor old farmer's son
You don't know the things I've done, out behind the barn
