two columns

OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER    Basic - SSD Week 4

Sides face, grand square
*The boy's got the shakes, but don't know why
Got a little thing that makes the poor boy cry
Mama called the doctor and the doctor just said
This boy needs some shortnin bread

Circle left
Mama's little baby loves shortnin, shortnin
Mama's little baby,
allemande left, promenade
Mama's little baby loves shortnin, shortnin
Mama's little baby loves shortnin bread


FIGURE    Basic, corner progression

Heads square thru 4 hands round
With the sides a right hand star, turn it around
Heads star left, turn 'em so fine
Split those sides around one and make a line
Go forward up and back, touch 1/4, boys run
Swing the corner lady, promenade her son
Mama's little baby loves shortnin, shortnin
Mama's little baby loves shortnin bread


ALTERNATE LYRICS

*Moses and the children of Israel
Wandered through the desert trying to do God's will
Tired and hungry, almost dead
And God sent down some shortnin bread
