two columns

OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER    Basic

Join hands and circle to the left go walkin' round
Walk around your corner, see saw the one you found
And now the men star right go once around tonight
Left allemande that corner, weave the ring
Well I'm proud to be an Okie from Muskogee
You swing the girl around and promenade
We still wave Ole Glory down at the court house
White Lightnin's still the biggest thrill of all


FIGURE    Basic - SSD Week 11, corner progression

Well the 4 little ladies chain 3/4 round the ring
Side couples promenade halfway
Those heads square thru 4 hands around will do
Split 2 around just one and make a line, all 8 box the gnat
And square thru 4 hands, go walkin' round and then
You swing the corner girl and promenade
*We don't burn our draft cards down on Main Street
Cause we like living right and being free


ALTERNATE LYRICS

*Football's still the roughest thing on campus
And the kids still respect the college Dean
