OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER Basic - SSD Week 3
Circle left
Here Rattler here, here, here Rattler here
Boys star by the ole right hand once around from there
Pick up partner, arm around, you going to star promenade
Girls step out and backtrack two times I said
Two times around and go left allemande
Come on back a dosado and promeande that land
Here Rattler here, here, here Rattler here
Call Ole Rattler from the barn and here Rattler here
FIGURE Plus, corner progression
1 & 3 (2 & 4) promenade go one time around
Sides square thru and go four hands around
Four hands around now and do a right & left thru
Swing thru two by two and boys run you do
Do a half tag trade and roll and the corner swing
Swing that girl around, you're going to promenade that ring
*Once I had a good ole dog and Rattler was his name
Big flop ears and a sad face, but I loved him just the same
ALTERNATE LYRICS
*Ole Rattler's gettin' kinda old, I've had him many a year
I better call Ole Rattler from the barn and...
*Ole 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
*It ain't no use goin' huntin' Jake, Ole Rattler's kinda blind
He'd rather sleep in that darn barn...
