OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER Basic - SSD Week 4
Sides face, grand square
*Wake up the drummer, put the sticks in his hand
Tell him to beat the drum and give the command
We've got an awful lot of marching to do
I'm going home to my Louisiana Lou
Four ladies promenade, one time go round
Get on back and swing that man, promenade on down
I've got an awful lot of marching to do
I'm going home to my Louisiana Lou
ALTERNATE LYRICS
*Three years ago we marched away with a smile
Ain't seen a southern girl in too long awhile
I'm headed south to spend the next year or two
With my Louisiana Lou
*We fought the best we could, it's all over now
I'm mighty anxious to get home anyhow
I've got an awful lot of living to do
With my Louisiana Lou
FIGURE Plus, corner progression
Head two you promenade halfway around you go
Down the middle and square thru, get 4 hands you know
All the way around then you do the right & left thru
Veer to the left, couples circulate
Half tag, trade & roll, right hand pull by
Allemande left, come on back, promenade you fly
I'm going back to spend the next year or two
With my Louisiana Lou
