two columns

OPENER    Basic - SSD Week 1

Circle left
Well me and_________, got talkin'
With a couple other fellows in the band

Let's have the men star by the right hand
And roll it around the land
Allemande and weave that old ring
We got to talkin' it over
Let's take a little time off if we can
I'm comin' home if I can find a flight in the mornin'
The Oakie from Muskogee's coming home


FIGURE    Mainstream - SSD Week 12, corner progression

Those heads promenade and go halfway around the floor
Walk in and square thru to four
Four hands around now, right & left thru turn the girl
Veer left and the couples circulate
Half tag the line, scoot back
Swing that corner around and promenade
If I can find me a flight in the mornin'
The Oakie from Muskogee's coming home


MIDDLE BREAK    Basic - SSD Week 1

Circle left
We don't mean to say we're quittin'
We're just tired of making love by telephone

Let's have the men star by the right hand and roll it once around the land
Allemande and weave that old ring
It's been twenty years of travlin'
Twenty years of livin' on the road
I'm comin' home if I can find a flight in the mornin'
The Okie from Muskogee's coming home


CLOSER    Basic - SSD Week 1

Hey, four boys promenade inside the ring and
Get on home and swing, swing with that girl
Join up hands and circle to the left go walking round the ring
Allemande and weave that old ring
Well, I'll always be a gambler
And never ever lose the urge to roam
I'm goin' home if I can find a flight in the mornin'
The Oakie from Muskogee's coming home


TAG

If I can find a flight a flight in the mornin'
The Oakie from Muskogee's coming home
