Food On The Table | (ESP 1158) Elmer Sheffield, Jr. |
OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER Basic - SSD Week 1
Circle left
*Every morning I wake up 'fore the rooster crows
Headin' for somewhere I don't wanna go
Left allemande the corner, turn partner by the right
Left allemande the corner, weave the ring tonight
**Well, I've gotta make it through from 9 to 5
Meet your girl and promenade
***Well, I work from 9 to 5 because I'm able
Work hard all week to put food on the table
ALTERNATE LYRICS
*Got gas in my truck, butter on my biscuit
Couple of bucks for a scratch-off ticket
**Poker makes me broker every Saturday night
***But, my water's still running, they ain't cut off the lights
Workin' hard all week just for Saturday nights
*18 bucks an hour, a million dollar tan
Women whistle at me while I'm working for the man
**I make some hard cash out in the summer sun
***I worked all week but I'm still able
Workin' hard, hard, puttin' food on the table
FIGURE Mainstream, corner progression
Heads (sides) square thru four hands you go
Dosado, swing thru tonight, boys run right
Half tag, walk & dodge
Partner trade and reverse the flutter
Keep that girl, promenade, oh brother
****Gotta make it through from 9 to 5
It's killing me, but I'm still alive
ALTERNATE LYRICS
****It's Friday night and I'm still all right
Working hard all week just for Saturday night
