Ballad Of A New Caller
  (Eagle 1801)   Big & Little Enis, Kenny "Little Enis" Jarvis
 
two columns

OPENER    Basic - SSD Week 1

Circle left
Well, I got into square dancing a few years ago
And I always wanted to be a caller, everybody knows

You do an allemande left with the corner, come back and dosado,
Do an allemande left with the corner, weave the ring
So I bought me a record and a new microphone
Swing that girl around and round and promenade her home
I said it looks so easy, but Lord knows I was wrong
How do I get these people home?


FIGURE    Basic - SSD Week 10, corner progression

Heads (sides) square thru in the middle 4 hands
To the tune of the fiddle and get to the corner lady
Dosado and make your wave, swing thru tonight
Those boys run to the right, you ferris wheel
And then a right & left thru and turn that girl
You square thru and go 3 hands around, swing
That girl around and round and promenade her home
I said it looks so easy, but Lord knows I was wrong
How do I get these people home?


MIDDLE BREAK    Basic - SSD Week 1

Circle left
I got me a calling job at a local club in town
Everything was going fine till I put that needle down

You do an allemande left with the corner, come back and dosado,
Do an allemande left with the corner, weave the ring
Well, I weaved them in and I weaved them out, then something went wrong
Swing that girl around and round and promenade her home
I said it looks so easy, but Lord knows I was wrong
How do I get these people home?


CLOSER    Basic - SSD Week 1

Circle left
I went out to the Nationals the very next year
And I walked up on that stage out there filled with fear

You do an allemande left with the corner, come back and dosado,
Do an allemande left with the corner, weave the ring
Imagine this - 30 thousand dancers saying "What did he say?"
Swing that girl around and round and promenade her home
I said it looks so easy, but Lord knows I was wrong
How do I get these people home?

I'm glad it's over, I'm going home
