two columns

OPENER - CLOSER    Basic - SSD Week 1

Circle left
*When the sun comes up in a sleepy little town
Down around San Antone

Left allemande and dosado
Left allemande the corner and weave the ring
**They say that the people are strange
Swing that girl and promenade
Talkin' 'bout China Grove
Whoa, whoa China Grove


ALTERNATE LYRICS

*Well the preacher and the teacher, Lord they are a caution
They are the talk of town


**They say that the father's insane
And dear Mrs Perkin's a game


FIGURE    Mainstream, corner progression

Heads (Sides) square thru 4
Dosado, swing thru
Spin the top, right & left thru
Square thru 3
Swing your girl and promenade
They just keep on lookin' to the east

MIDDLE BREAK    Basic - SSD Week 4

Sides face grand square
But every day there's a new thing comin'
The ways of an oriental view
The sheriff and his buddies with their samurai swords
You can even hear the music at night

Swing that girl and promenade
Talkin' 'bout China Grove
Whoa, whoa China Grove
