two columns

OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER    Basic - SSD Week 4

Sides face, grand square
*I flopped down in my easy chair an' turned on channel 2
A bad gunslinger called Salty Sam was chasing poor sweet Sue
He trapped her in the old saw mill and said with an evil grin
If you don't give me the deed to your ranch, you'd better

Circle to the left my friend
And then along came Jones, long thin Jones
Allemande left and promenade
Slow walking Jones, slow talking Jones
Along came long, lean, lanky Jones


FIGURE    Mainstream, R-H lady progression

Heads (sides) promenade 3/4 you go
Side two couples rollaway & turn thru you know
Dosado the outside two, make an ocean wave my friend
Swing thru 2 by 2, box the gnat & then
Pull by and left allemande, walk by one
Swing the next and promenade
Slow walking Jones, slow talking Jones
Along came long, lean, lanky Jones


ALTERNATE LYRICS

*The commercial came on so I got up to get myself a snack
You should have seen what was going on by the time that I got back
Down in the old abandoned mine sweet Sue was having fits
Sam said "Give me the deed to your ranch or..

Circle to the left a bit

*Well I got so bugged I turned it off & turned on another show
But there was the same old shoot 'em up & the same old rodeo
Well Salty Sam was trying to stuff sweet Sue in a burlap sack
And he said "If you don't give me the deed to your ranch"

You'd better circle round that track
