two columns

OPENER    Basic

Walk around that corner, seesaw your own
4 ladies promenade, swing and whirl
Sides face, grand square
I get this going fever every time I hear a tune
That talks about South Texas where the cactus is in bloom
I feel I oughta be there every evening after dark
To hear the fiddler fiddlin' around a tune called Old Joe Clark


FIGURE    Mainstream - SSD Week 11, corner progression

Heads (sides) square thru 4 hands
Dosado, swing thru, boys run
Tag the line, right
Wheel & deal, pass thru, U turn back
Swing thru, boys trade, girls turn back, promenade
I get that goin' fever, everytime I hear a tune
that talks about south texas where the cactus is in bloom


MIDDLE BREAK    Basic

Walk around that corner, seesaw your own
4 ladies promenade, swing and whirl
Sides face, grand square
We played that show in Tulsa then it was Fort Worth bound
We headed south on 35 to that South Texas town
It's a different world and a lot of fun if you like that country sound
You can find yourself a partner when they boil that cabbage down


CLOSER    Basic

Walk around that corner, seesaw your own
4 ladies promenade, swing and whirl
Sides face, grand square
If you're even down in Texas and feeling all alone
There's a lot of kicker places just south of San Antone
Ain't nothin' fancy, mind ya, just a place where good folks go
You can hear the boot heels start to click when they play the Cotton Eyed Joe
