Okie From Muskogee
Merle Haggard 1969
  (Acme 123)   Scott Bennett
 
two columns

OPENER    Basic - SSD Week 4

Sides face grand square
We don't smoke marijuana in Muskogee
We don't take our trips on LSD

Allemande left and weave
We don't burn our draft cards down on Main Street
We like livin' right, and bein' free


FIGURE    Mainstream, corner progression

Heads (Sides) promenade halfway
Sides (Heads) right & left thru
Square thru, dosado
Eight chain 4
*We don't wear our hair all long and shaggy
Swing and promenade
**Like the hippies out in San Francisco do

ALTERNATE LYRICS

*Football's still the roughest thing on campus
**And the kids here still respect the college dean


MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER    Basic - SSD Week 4

Sides face grand square
I'm proud to be an Okie from Muskogee
A place where even squares can have a ball

Allemande left and weave
We still wave Old Glory down at the courthouse
And white lightnin's still the biggest thrill of all

Swing her, in Muskogee, Oklahoma, USA
