OPENER C4
Grand parade (parade, spin, sweep, weave, etc.)
The old hometown looked the same
As I stepped down from the train
And there to greet me was my mama and my papa
Down the road I looked and there runs Mary
Hair of gold and lips like cherry
It's good to touch the green, green grass of home
FIGURE Mainstream, corner progression
Heads (sides) square thru & go round the land
Dosado with the corner my friend
Spin chain thru, girls circulate twice and then
Turn thru, left allemande the corner, dosado your own
Swing the corner lady and promenade home
It's good to touch the green, green grass of home
MIDDLE BREAK Basic - SSD Week 4
Sides face, grand square
The old house is still standin'
Though the paint is cracked and dry
There's the old oak tree that I used to play on
Down the lane I walked with my sweet Mary
Hair of gold and lips like cherry
It's good to touch the green, green grass of home
FIGURE (ALTERNATE) C4, corner progression
Heads curlique, walk & dodge you do
Circle 4 make a line, then slide thru
Spin chain the gears go all the way round and then
When you meet square thru 3, go 3 hands
Swing the corner lady, promenade the lane
It's good to touch the green, green grass of home
CLOSER Basic - SSD Week 4
Sides face, grand square
Then I awoke and looked around me
At the four grey walls that surround me
And I realize, yes, I was only dreamin'
And there's a guard and there's a sad old padre
On and on, we'll walk at daybreak
Again I'll touch the green, green grass of home
