Sing Me Back Home
Merle Haggard and the Strangers; Grateful Dead; Alabama; others 1967
  (Double M 325)   Doug Davis
 
two columns

OPENER    Basic - SSD Week 4

Sides face grand square
The warden led a prisoner
Down the hallway to his doom
And I stood up to say
Good-bye like all the rest
, allemande left and weave
I heard him tell the warden
You swing and you promenade (or Just before he reached my cell)
Let my guitar playing friend
Do my request


FIGURE    Basic, corner progression

Heads (Sides) promenade and go halfway
Down the middle pass the ocean and then, extend
Swing thru, the boys run right, couples circulate
Chain down the line, pass the ocean, all 8 circulate
Swing your corner and promenade
Sing me back home
Before I die


MIDDLE BREAK    Basic - SSD Week 4

Sides face grand square
I recall last Sunday morning
A chior from off the street
Came in to sing a few old
A few old gospel songs
, allemande left and weave
I heard him tell the warden
There's a song my mamma sang
Could I hear it one more time
Before I go


CLOSER    Basic - SSD Week 4

Sides face grand square
Won't you sing me back home
With the song my mamma sang
Make my old memories
Come alive
, allemande left and weave
Take me away
And turn back the years
Sing me back home
Before I die

Sing me back home before I die
