OPENER Basic - SSD Week 1
Circle left
When I was a little bitty baby
My mama would rock me in the cradle
Allemande left your corner, turn your partner right
Allemande left and weave that ring
It was down in Louisiana, just about a mile from Texarkana
In them old cotton fields back home
FIGURE Mainstream, corner progression
The heads (sides) star thru and square thru 3
Find your corner for a left swing thru
Girls run left, you bend the line
Dixie style from there
The boys cross run and then recycle
Swing your corner, promenade her back home
In them old cotton fields back home
FIGURE
The heads (sides) you promenade, travel halfway around
On the other side dixie style
The head (side) boys trade and then extend to a left hand wave
Left swing thru tonight
The girls cross run, boys run
California twirl and all promenade
In them old cotton fields back home
MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER Basic - SSD Week 4
Sides face grand square
When I was a little bitty baby
My mama would rock me in the cradle
In them old cotton fields back home
Allemande left and weave that ring
It was down in Louisiana, just about a mile from Texarkana
In them old cotton fields back home
TAG
Allemande left and swing
In them old cotton fields back home
