two columns

OPENER    Basic - SSD Week 4

Sides face grand square
We come on the sloop John B
My grandfather and me
Around Nassau town we did roam

Allemande left and weave
Drinking all night
Got into a fight
I feel so broke up
I want to go home


FIGURE    Mainstream, corner progression

Heads promenade halfway
Sides square thru I say
All the way and do the right & left thru
Eight chain 6
Sheriff John Stone
Why don't you leave me alone

Swing and promenade
I feel so broke up
I want to go home


MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER    Basic - SSD Week 4

Sides face grand square
So hoist up the John B sails
See how the mainsail's set
Call for the Captain ashore, let me go home

Allemande left and weave
I want to go home
Why don't you let me go home
This is the worst trip
I've ever been on


TAG

Four ladies chain, across and back
I feel so broke up, I want to go home
