two columns

OPENER    Basic - SSD Week 1

Circle left
*Well, I grew up wild and free
Walkin' these fields in my barefeet

Left allemande your corner, dosado your own
Left allemande your corner, weave the ring you know
Well, I live in the city but don't fit in
You know it's a pity the shape I'm in
Well, I got no home and I got no choice
Oh, Lord, have mercy on a country boy


ALTERNATE LYRICS

*When I was young I remember well
I'd hunt the wild turkey and the bobwhite quail


*Well, they damned the river, they damned the stream
They cut down the Cyprus and the Sweetgum trees


FIGURE    Plus, corner progression

Heads (Sides) promenade her halfway around
Walk in, touch 1/4, boy run right and now
Do the right & left thru and turn, veer left for me
Those couples circulate one time, half tag you see
Follow your neighbor and spread, those girls trade twice
Boys run right and promenade around so nice
Well, I got no home and I got no choice
Oh, Lord, have mercy on a country boy


TAG

Oh, Lord, have mercy on a country boy
