OPENER    Basic - SSD Week 1

Circle left
High on a mountain what do you see
Bear tracks, bear tracks looking back at me

Left allemande the corner, home a dosado
4 men star by the left it's once around you go
Turn partner by the right and go left allemande
Come back home and swing and promenade her man
He ain't never been caught
He ain't never been treed
Old Slew Foot is a lot like me


FIGURE    Basic - SSD Week 8, corner progression

Head (side) couples promenade go 1/2 way 'round the ring
Lead right and dosado, it's once around I sing
Swing thru tonight and boys run to the right
Bend the line and a right & left thru and turn that girl around
You flutter wheel around there girls and sweep 1/4 more
You pass thru, swing the lady, promenade her home
He ain't never been caught
He ain't never been treed
Some folks say he's a lot like me


MIDDLE BREAK    Basic - SSD Week 1

Circle left
I saved up my money and I bought me some bees
They started making honey up in the trees

Left allemande the corner, home a dosado
4 men star by the left it's once around you go
Turn partner by the right and go left allemande
Come back home and swing and promenade her man
He ain't never been caught
He ain't never been treed
Old Slew Foot is a lot like me


CLOSER    Basic - SSD Week 1

Circle left
Winter's coming on and it's 20 below
The river's froze over so where can he go

Left allemande the corner, home a dosado
4 men star by the left it's once around you go
Turn partner by the right and go left allemande
Come back home and swing and promenade her man
He ain't never been caught
He ain't never been treed
Old Slew Foot is a lot like me
