Rockin' The Jailhouse

two columns

OPENER - CLOSER    Basic - SSD Week 1

Circle left
I had a friend named Ramblin' Bob
Who used to steal, gamble and rob

Men star right one time around
Left allemande, weave the ring
He's in the jailhouse now
Swing that girl and promenade
(I told him) Once or twice no cards, no dice
He's in the jailhouse now


FIGURE    Mainstream, corner progression

Heads (sides) slide thru, all double pass thru
Centers in, cast off 3/4 round, up and back
Pass thru, tag the line, cloverleaf
Centers pass thru, slide thru, square thru 3/4 round
Swing that corner and promenade
(I told him) Once or twice, no cards, no dice
He's in the jailhouse now


MIDDLE BREAK    Basic - SSD Week 4

Sides face, grand square
(Music - 32 beats)
Four ladies promenade
One time around, get home and you swing and promenade
(I told him) Once or twice, no cards, no dice
He's in the jailhouse now


TAG

(I told him) Once or twice, no cards, no dice
He's in the jailhouse now
