Tie Me Kangaroo Down Rolf Harris 1957 | (Blue Star 1681) Andy Andrus |
INTRO
(Spoken)
There was an old Australian square dance caller lying, dying,
and this is what he asked his dancers to do when he pass on...
OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER Basic - SSD Week 1
4 ladies chain across, Jane
Turn 'em left around
Chain back across, Jane
Promenade her around (all together now)
Tie me kangaroo down, sport
Tie me kangaroo down
Tie me kangaroo down, sport
Tie me kangaroo down
FIGURE Basic, no progression
Heads go up and back, Jack
Dosado around
Make a right hand star and turn it once
Once around that old town
Allemande the corner girl, Earl
Dosado your own
Swing that corner gal, Al
Promenade her back home (all together now)
*Tie me kangaroo down, sport
Tie me kangaroo down
Tie me kangaroo down, sport
Tie me kangaroo down
ALTERNATE LYRICS
*Loose me tie when I die, Si
Loose me tie when I die
Don't you go and cry, Si
Loose me tie when I die
*Tan me hide when I'm dead, Fred
Tan me hide when I'm dead
So they tanned his hide when he died, Clyde
And that's it handing on the shed
