OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER Basic - SSD Week 1
Circle left
When the fiddlin' man came to our town
Sister dressed up in her prettiest gown
Mamma told sister, don't be hangin' around
That no good fiddlin' man
Allemande that corner lady, dosado your own
Four boys star left, go once around
Turn your partner right, allemande the corner
Dosado around your own and promenade
*Sister ran off with the fiddlin' man
Mamma got mad throwin' pots and pans
Said she better not get her hands
On that no good fiddlin' man
ALTERNATE LYRICS
*So I got me a fiddle and I got me a bow
Practiced in the woods so Mamma wouldn't know
I knew she'd never let me go
Off to be a fiddlin' man
Then one night when I started to play
I saw a pretty girl, she was lookin' my way
She was dancin' with her brother and I heard her say
"I like that fiddlin' man"
*Late one night when the moon was low
I packed my fiddle and I packed my bow
Mamma found my letter and said "oh, no"
He's off to be a fiddlin' man
FIGURE Plus, corner progression
Heads (sides) square thru four hands
Dosado the corner, make a wave
Swing thru, girls circulate, boys trade
Boys run, crossfire
Circulate, boys run again
Swing your corner and promenade
*Sister ran off with the fiddlin' man
Mamma got mad throwin' pots and pans
Said she better not get her hands
On that no good fiddlin' man
