Help I'm White And I Can't Get Down The Geezinslaws Brothers 1992 | (Rawhide 1202) Dan Sahlstrom, Mike Hogan |
OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER Basic - SSD Week 4
Sides face, grand square
*My woman told me last Friday night, her birthday's comin' and things ain't right
We've been together since before the war and I never had her out on the dance hall floor
I didn't know what to say ... I never learned to dance, I only learned to play
Watch other people gonna do their thing, my job was to pick and sing
Four ladies gonna promenade gonna walk yourself in the middle of the ring
Run back and swing your man, gonna promenade that ring
Promenade on around you go like a chicken in the bread pan pickin' out dough
Or a one-legged monkey on the frozen snow
ALTERNATE LYRICS
Well I moped around the house, I watch T.V. and slept on the couch
Flipped through the dial when after a while a commercial came on that made me smile
"Learn to dance, learn to move, call one nine-hundred, you just can't lose"
Didn't take me long - jumped right up and ran to the phone
*I took the course and I learned quick, just one leap and it did the trick
So when that magic evening came, I knew I wouldn't be the same
The floor was crowded but something's wrong - I didn't recognize these songs
These cowboys aren't on my video tape, there must be some mistake
FIGURE Mainstream - SSD Week 8, corner progression
Heads you square thru go four now
Hey, round the corner docey do
You swing thru the boy run right
Bend that line and a right & left thru
You flutter wheel across the dance floor
Slide thru and the corner swing
I need some help when I do the town
Help, help, I'm white and I can't get down
TAG
Bow to the partner and the corner of the hall
That's it, gang, that's all
