Jesse's Barn | (Double M 381) Jim Kline |
OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER
Sides face grand square
I grew up in the country in the backwoods on a farm
Grains, dark beans, and cornbread, but we weren't poor by far
We had a little money, but we didn't have a car
On Friday nights, we'd hitch a ride out to Jesse's barn
The four little ladies gonna promenade, once inside the ring I said
Get back home and Dosado and promenade you know
Swing her to the left and swing her to the right
Promenade and dance all night
We didn't have much but we had all night
Out in Jesse's barn
ALTERNATE LYRICS
One night after we'd married, wе had a little fight
Went off for a couple of days and I don't know who was right
So wе went out for a walk one night but we didn't go too far
We found what we were lookin' for out in Jesse's barn
Well a lot of years have passed and gone and Jesse's gone away
I missed him when he left us, but I miss him more today
Sometimes late on Friday nights, we'll walk but not too far
You can still hear music playin' out in Jesse's barn
FIGURE
Head two couples lead to the right, circle to a line
Go forward up & back, and a right & left thru in time
Square thru and go, 4 hands around you know
All the way and then, centers square thru 3
Outside pair do a partner trade, and everybody pass thru I said
Swing your corner lady round and promenade her too
Swing her to the left and swing her to the right
Promenade and dance all night
We didn't have much but we had all night
Out in Jesse's barn
TAG
Swing her to the left and swing her to the right
Promenade and dance all night
We didn't have much but we had all night
Out in Jesse's barn
