I Hear Kentucky Callin' Me
The Osborne Brothers; Chet Atkins 1974
  (Thunderbird 229)   Gabby Baker, Chuck Mashburn
 
two columns

OPENER - CLOSER    Basic - SSD Week 4

Sides face, grand square
I can hear Kentucky calling me
Whispering through my halls of memory

Circle left
The bluegrass fields, a maple hill
Left allemande, swing, promenade
I can hear Kentucky calling me

FIGURE    Mainstream - SSD Week 12, corner progression

Heads square thru 4 hands around you go
To the corner do a right & left thru
Dosado to an ocean wave, ladies trade
Recycle round you go, dive thru, zoom
Square thru 3 hands, that corner swing and promenade
I can hear Kentucky calling me

MIDDLE BREAK    Basic - SSD Week 4

Sides face, grand square
Front porch dreamers pickin' old guitars
Boney hound dogs singing to the stars

Circle left
The sounds and scenes I've left behind
Left allemande, swing, promenade
I can hear Kentucky calling me

FIGURE (ALTERNATE)    Basic, corner progression

Heads promenade halfway around you go
Down the middle and square thru 4 hands around
4 hands and then a right & left thru
Veer to the left and ferris wheel
Those centers square thru 3 hands around
Swing the corner, promenade the town
I can hear Kentucky calling me

TAG

Swing her
I can hear Kentucky calling me

This song dedicated to the 1983 National Square Dance Convention, Louisville, KY.
