OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK    Basic - SSD Week 4

Sides face, grand square
*Ezekiel went down in the middle of a field
He saw an angel workin' on a chariot wheel
Wasn't so particular 'bout the chariot wheel
Just wanted to see...

Allemande left and weave the ring
Why don't you swing down sweet chariot, stop and let me ride
Swing down chariot, Stop and let me ride
Rock me lord, rock me lord, calm and easy
Well I've got a home on the other side


ALTERNATE LYRICS

*Well, Ezekiel went down and he got on board
Chariot went a bumpin' on down the road
Wasn't so particular 'bout the bumpin' of the road
Just wanted to...


FIGURE    Mainstream, corner progression

Heads (Sides) square thru, 4 hands around you do
Dosado the corner, one time and go
Swing thru tonight, spin the top and go
Boy move up and a right & left thru and turn 'em there
Flutter wheel straight across and then you sweep 1/4
Swing a little girl and you promenade the floor
Rock me lord, rock me lord, calm and easy
Well I've got a home on the other side


CLOSER    Basic - SSD Week 1

Circle left
Well I got a father in the promised land
Ain't no more stoppin' till I shake his hand

Left allemande and then you dosado
Left allemande the corner and weave it you go
Why don't you swing down sweet chariot, stop and let me ride
Swing down chariot, Stop and let me ride
Rock me lord, rock me lord, calm and easy
Well I've got a home on the other side


TAG

Swing her!
I got a home on the other side
