OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER Basic - SSD Week 1
Circle left
*I hear people talkin' bad
About the way we have to live here in this country
Left allemande the corner and then you dosado
Allemande left and weave the ring
An' I don't mind 'em switchin' sides
An' standin' up for things they believe in
Swing and promenade
When they're runnin' down my country, man
They're walkin' on the fightin' side of me
ALTERNATE LYRICS
*I hear people talkin' bad
About the way we have to live here in this country
Harpin' on the wars we fight
An' gripin' 'bout the way things oughta be
An' I don't mind 'em switchin' sides
An' standin' up for things they believe in
When they're runnin' down my country, man
They're walkin' on the fightin' side of me
Yeah, walkin' on the fightin' side of me
*I read about some squirrely guy
Who claims, he just don't believe in fightin'
An' I wonder just how long
The rest of us can count on bein' free
If you don't love it, leave it: Let this song I'm singin' be a warnin'
They love our milk an' honey, but they preach about some other way of livin'
FIGURE Mainstream - SSD Week 12, corner progression
Heads (Sides) square thru, right & left thru
Swing thru, boys run
Half tag, scoot back
2 ladies chain, chain her back and promenade
When they're runnin' down my country, man
They're walkin' on the fightin' side of me
