Just Playing Possum
Alan Jackson 1991

two columns

OPENER    Basic - SSD Week 1

I parked my car 'round back
Face your partner and swing
I've got the shades pulled down
Chain the ladies over and back
I told everybody including my mama
I was leaving town

Join your hands, circle left
But I've been right here
Since you've been gone

Allemande left, promenade
Belly-up at the bottom of a bottle
Listening to George Jones


FIGURE   

(Pre Cue) Heads (Sides) square thru
Just playin' possum
Sides (Heads) face grand square
Heads (Sides) cloverleaf
Heads (Sides) come down the middle
Pass thru and cloverleaf one more time
And when you're done square thru 3/4 round
The corner swing, keep her, promeno
I'm just playin' possum
And laying low


FIGURE    Mainstream, corner progression

Heads (Sides) square thru 4
Touch a 1/4, scoot back and go
The boy run to the right
And do the right & left thru
And send the lady back dixie style
The boys cross fold
The corner swing, keep her, promeno
I'm just playin' possum
And laying low


MIDDLE BREAK    Basic - SSD Week 4

Sides face grand square
(8 bar guitar instrumental)
Allemande left, weave the ring
But I've been right here
Since you've been gone

Promenade
Belly-up at the bottom of a bottle
Listening to George Jones


CLOSER    Basic - SSD Week 1

Face your partner and swing
(Instrumental only)
4 ladies chain over and back
(Instrumental)
Join your hands, circle left
Don't wanna see nobody
Nowhere I wanna go

Allemande left, promenade
I'm just playin' possum
And laying low


TAG

Swing her
I'm just playin' possum
And laying low
