Tennessee Border | (Longhorn 154) Bill Peters |
OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER Basic - SSD Week 11
Allemande left that corner, then you dosado your maid
And all four ladies promenade that square
Your partner box the gnat and all four gents you promenade
Get back home and swing your lady fair
Allemande left that corner and weave the ring you know
And when you meet your gal again, you better promeno
*She's as pretty as a picture and you'll be so glad you brought her
She's the gal you're takin' to the Tennessee border
ALTERNATE LYRICS
*She drinks applejack and Mountain Dew, but never touches water
This red hot gal you're takin' to the Tennessee border
*She led you in a merry chase until you up and caught her
So now you better settle down on the Tennessee border
FIGURE Basic - SSD Week 7, corner progression
Four little ladies chain across and turn this gal I say
Side (Head) two couples forward up and back, square thru
Count to four and meet those heads (sides), you circle four that way
Sides (Heads) you break and line up four you do
Pass thru, wheel & deal, centers pass on thru
Swing that corner waitin' there and promenade you do
**She'll make you do those crazy things you hadn't ought'er
But you'll be glad you're headin' for the Tennessee border
ALTERNATE LYRICS
**She's sassy, she's naughty, she's her mother's only daughter
And her daddy's got a shotgun on the Tennessee border
**She wears burlap bags and flour sacks, just like her mammy taught her
She's the best dressed lady on the Tennessee border
**And when you gaze into her eyes your knees will turn to water
But you'll hurry back for more down on the Tennessee border

Things'll never be the same down on the Tennessee border
