two columns

OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER    Mainstream, corner progression

Join your hands and circle 'long that Swanee River
Reverse back, go single file (just a little while)
Men step out and backtrack round the outside ring now
Everybody backtrack and then, turn your partners left
Find the corner, dosado round that lady
Come back, swing your partner, promenade along and sing
Way down upon the Swanee River
That's where the ole folks stay


FIGURE    A1, corner progression

Head (side) two ladies chain across that Swanee River
Heads (sides) go walking halfway around (go to the right)
A right hand star and turn it once around in time now
Heads (sides) star left when you come down
Same two a right & left thru and turn your lady
Dive thru, star thru, cross trail to your corner
Promenade along that good ole Swanee River
Far, far away
