OPENER Mainstream
Sides face grand square
Well my momma met my daddy down in Alabama
They tied the knot, so here I am
Born on the bayou on the Texas line
Loved Louisiana and raised on Jambalaya
4 boys promenade one time round
Swing your girl and promenade the town
Money to burn and the girls were pretty
I'll tell ya right now I was born to boogie
FIGURE Mainstream, corner progression
Heads (sides) square thru, swing thru
Boys run, ferris wheel
Pass thru, right & left thru, half sashay
Grand right & left
Swing, promenade
Money to burn and the girls were pretty
I'll tell ya right now I was born to boogie
MIDDLE BREAK Mainstream
Sides face grand square
Now before I could walk I had a guitar in my hand
By the time I could talk I had my own band
Went on the road when I was eight years old
When I turned fifteen I was stealing the show
4 boys promenade one time round
Swing your girl and promenade the town
Money to burn and the girls were pretty
I'll tell ya right now I was born to boogie
CLOSER Mainstream
4 boys promenade go walking round the ring
Come back and swing your baby round I sing
Join hands circle to the left awhile
Left allemande weave the ring
Money to burn and the girls were pretty
I'll tell ya right now I was born to boogie
Money to burn and the girls were pretty
I'll tell ya right now I was born to boogie
