OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER Basic - SSD Week 4
Sides face, grand square
*Long distance information give me Memphis, Tennessee
Help me find the party tried to get in touch with me
She could not leave her number but I know who placed the call
My uncle took the message and he wrote it on the wall
All four ladies promenade go once around that ring
Swing your man around and then you promenade I sing
Marie is only six years old so information please
Try to put me through to her in Memphis, Tennessee
ALTERNATE LYRICS
*Help me information get in touch with my Marie
She's the only one who phone me from Memphis, Tennessee
He home is on the south side, high upon a ridge
Just a half a mile from the Mississippi bridge
*The last time I saw Marie, she was waving me goodbye
With "Hurry home" drops on her cheeks and a tear in her eye
Marie is only six years old, so information please
Try to put me through to her in Memphis, Tennessee
FIGURE Mainstream, corner progression
Head two couples square thru four hands around you go
Around your corner lady now you do a dosado
Swing thru and then spin the top my friend
Boys move right up and then recycle round you see
You pass the ocean, make a wave, swing thru and then
Girls do a U-turn back, promenade around that ring
We were pulled apart because her mom did not agree
And tore apart our happy home in Memphis, Tennessee
