two columns

OPENER - CLOSER    Basic - SSD Week 1

4 ladies promenade, go one time around
Get back and swing your man, go one time and now
Join hands and make a big ring, you circle left go round
Allemande left that corner then weave your ring
*He carries his guitar in a gunny sack
You swing your lady go around promenade like that
**He plays in a big band, playing his guitar
Go, Johnny, go...go, Johnny, go


FIGURE (twice for heads, twice for sides)    Mainstream - SSD Week 12, corner progression

Heads (sides) Promenade 1/2 way around
Walk in and square thru go 4 hands and now
Go all the way do the right & left thru, hey
Veer left, couples circulate, move up
Do a half tag, scoot back and that corner swing
You swing your lady go round, promenade that ring
*He never ever learned to read or write so well
**But he could play guitar just like a ringing a bell


MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER    Basic - SSD Week 4

Sides face, grand square
*He's down in Louisiana, close to New Orleans
Well back up in the woods among the evergreens
Stood a log cabin made of earth and wood
Lived a country boy named Johnny B Good

4 ladies promenade, go walking round, get back
Get back and swing
You swing your man and promenade your ring
*He plays in a big band, playing his guitar
Go Johnny, go...go Johnny, go
