OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER Basic - SSD Week 1
Circle left
In 1814, we took a little trip
Along with Colonel Jackson, down the mighty Mississip'
Left allemande the corner, turn a right hand 'round your own
Left allemande the corner, then you weave the ring and roam
Well, we fired our guns, but the British kept a-comin'
Swing your girl around and then you promenade her home
We fired once more and they began a-runnin'
Down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico
FIGURE Mainstream, corner progression
All 4 couples promenade halfway I cry
Heads square thru 'til you look 'em in the eye
All the way around and do an eight chain 4
Beatin' on the drums as you march across the floor
Well you touch 1/4 then scoot back and go
Swing the corner lady and you promenade her home
We fired once more and they began a-runnin'
Down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico
