two columns

OPENER    Basic

Walk around your corner girl, seesaw your own
Join up your hands and circle left you go
Boys star right one time and then
Allemande left your corner girl, turn your partner right
4 ladies promenade inside the ring
Star thru with your partner and promenade 'em home
I've got a humpback mule, plow and a 'tator patch
Eggs that are gonna hatch someday
I've got the Lord above and a good girl to love me
I'm the richest man in the world


FIGURE    Mainstream, corner progression

Heads square thru, 4 hands you go
Split the sides, go around one, make a line you know
Dance up to the middle and back, touch 1/4
Boys run right, step to a wave and swing thru
Spin the top, slide thru
Swing your corner and promenade 'em home
I've got a humpback mule, plow and a 'tator patch
Eggs that are gonna hatch someday
I've got the Lord above and a good girl to love me
I'm the richest man in the world


MIDDLE BREAK    Basic - SSD Week 2

4 ladies chain across, turn the girl and don't get lost
You roll away and circle to the left, get around my friend
4 ladies roll away, circle to the left and hear me say
Allemande left with your corner, turn your partner right
4 ladies promenade inside the ring
Star thru with your partner and promenade along
I've got a humpback mule, plow and a 'tator patch
Eggs that are gonna hatch someday
I've got the Lord above and a good girl to love me
I'm the richest man in the world


MIDDLE BREAK (ALTERNATE)    Basic - SSD Week 4

Sides face, grand square
Well the rich folks talk about the grub they eat
I've got all of those rich folks beat
Cause I've got a field of yellow yams
And a smoke house filled with country hams
Talk to me about caviar
They ain't nothin' but fish eggs packed in a jar
Got a whole pond of big round trout
Well, fish eggs, what are you talkin' about?

4 boys promenade inside the ring
swing your partner and promenade along
I've got a humpback mule, plow and a 'tator patch
Eggs that are gonna hatch someday
I've got the Lord above and a good girl to love me
I'm the richest man in the world


CLOSER    Basic

Circle left
Thank you, thank you, Lord above, for smiling down on me
I'm richer now than any man has any right to be

Walk around your corner, seesaw your own
Allemande left your corner girl, turn your partner right
4 ladies promenade inside the ring
Star thru with your partner and promenade along
I've got a humpback mule, plow and a 'tator patch
Eggs that are gonna hatch someday
I've got the Lord above and a good girl to love me
I'm the richest man in the world
