Delta Dirt The Gatlin Brothers 1974 | (Red Boot 3063) Mike Hoose |
OPENER Basic - SSD Week 1
Circle left
I wandered far away
From the place where I was born and raised
Left allemande, come back a dosado
Do an allemande left and weave the ring
*And now these dried up bones of mine are powerful thirsty
Swing your girl and promenade
Lord I've got that Delta dirt, Lord
I got that black land Delta dirt down in my veins
FIGURE Mainstream, corner progression
Well now the heads (sides) promenade take her halfway
Down the middle and do the right & left thru
Come on and square thru four hands around now
And a right & left thru the outside two
Why don't you swing thru tonight, boy run right
Half tag, swing the corner, promenade
Lord I've got that Delta dirt, Lord
I got that black land Delta dirt down in my veins
MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER Basic - SSD Week 1
Four ladies (boys) promenade go walking
Gonna get on back and swing and whirl that man
Join all your hands, gotta circle around that ring
Do an allemande left and weave the ring
*Well I'm going home to my sweet Delta Mama
*Swing that girl around and around and promenade
Lord I've got that Delta dirt, Lord
I got that black land Delta dirt down in my veins
ALTERNATE LYRICS
*Cause this heart of mine keeps telling me I'm crazy
**To keep on wearing those city ball and chains
