OPENER    Basic - SSD Week 1

Circle left
Born a slave in the town of Vicksburg
Traded for a chestnut mare

The men star right once around there
Left allemande and weave the ring
Mama said don't go near that river
Swing and promenade her home
Come the morning I'd always be there
Walking in his footsteps in the sweet delta dawn


FIGURE    Mainstream - SSD Week 12, corner progression

Heads (sides) square thru count four now
Well get to the corner girl swing thru
All cast off 3/4, and split circulate
Boys run right, forward eight to the middle 'n back
Pass the ocean, girls trade, recycle now
Swing your corner and promenade
Come the morning I'd always be there
Walking in his footsteps in the sweet delta dawn


MIDDLE BREAK    Basic - SSD Week 1

Circle left
Catfish John was a river hobo
He lived and died on the river bend

The men star right once around there
Left allemande and Weave the ring
Mama said don't go near that river
Don't be hangin' around old Catfish John
Come the morning I'd always be there
Walking in his footsteps in the sweet delta dawn


CLOSER    Basic - SSD Week 1

Four boys promenade go inside
Back home swing your lady around
All join your hands and circle left now
Allemande left your corner and weave the ring
Mama said don't go near that river
Don't be hangin' around old Catfish John
Come the morning I'd always be there
Walking in his footsteps in the sweet delta dawn
