OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER    Basic - SSD Week 4

Sides face grand square
Well life on the farm is kinda laid back
Ain't much an old country boy like me can't hack
It's early to rise - early in the sack
Thank God I'm a country boy
(Allemande left and weave)
Well I got me a fine wife I got me a fiddle
Swing her upside down, promenade around the middle
(When the sun's comin' up I got cakes on the griddle)
Life ain't nothin' but a funny, funny riddle
Thank God I'm a country boy


ALTERNATE LYRICS

Well a simple kinda life never did me no harm
A raisin' me a family and workin' on a farm
My days are all filled with an easy country charm
Thank God I'm a country boy


When the work's all done and the sun's settin' low
I pull out my fiddle and I rosin up the bow
The kids are asleep so I keep it kinda low
Thank God I'm a country boy


FIGURE    Basic - SSD Week 9, corner progression

Head two couples square thru be sure to count to four
Find your corner waiting there and dosado
Swing thru tonight let the boys run to the right
Couples circulate then chain down the line
Pass the ocean there, all 8 circulate
Swing that corner girl, promenade with that date
Life ain't nothin' but a funny, funny riddle
Thank God I'm a country boy
