OPENER Basic - SSD Week 1
Circle now
He take the thunder from the mountain
He takes a lightning from the sky
The men star right you roll it round
And do an allemande and weave
You gotta to hidey-hide
You gotta jump and run
You know the old man is down the road
FIGURE Basic - SSD Week 8, corner progression
Well now the heads (sides) star thru and pass thru
Dosado you make an ocean wave
Swing thru tonight, the boy run right
Couples circulate, chain down the line
Square thru to three now
Swing and promenade on home
The old man is down the road
MIDDLE BREAK Basic - SSD Week 4
Sides face grand square
He's got the voices speakin' riddles
He got the eye as black as coal
He got a suitcase covered with rattlesnake hide
And he stands right in the road
Four ladies promenade inside the ring you run now
Swing and promenade around
The old man is down the road
CLOSER Basic - SSD Week 4
Sides face grand square
He takes the thunder from the mountain

Four men promenade inside the ring you run boy
Swing and promenade around
The old man is down the road

Swing her good boys
The old man is down the road
