OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER    Basic - SSD Week 1

All 4 ladies chain across there honey
Turn and chain the ladies right back home
You'll join up hands and make a ring
Circle to the left around I sing
Allemande left the corner and weave the ring
You get a line and I'll get a pole honey
Swing the lady round and promenade
You get a line and I'll get a pole
We'll head down to the crawdad hole
Honey, oh baby, mine


FIGURE    Mainstream, corner progression

Head (side) two couples promenade go halfway
Side (head) two couples promenade go halfway
Heads (sides) square thru and go
Hey chick, chick, chick, peckin' out dough
Meet the outside and do an eight chain 4
You get a line and I'll get a pole, honey
Swing and promenade
*Chicken in the bread pan peckin out dough
Granny will the dog bite, no chil' no,
Honey, oh baby, mine


ALTERNATE LYRICS

*Ole Ida Red she ain't no fool
She can put a saddle on a humpback mule


*Ingo, bingo, 6-penny high,
Big pig little pig root hog or die


*Chicken on a fence, possum on a rail
Take a little honey and everybody sail
