OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER Basic - SSD Week 8
Allemande left where the bayou flows, alamo style with Piroque Joe
Swing thru, go two by two, balance in and out you do
Turn by the right, go all the way round,
men star left go across that town
Turn the opposite lady with a right hand swing
Allemande left and weave the ring
Weave the ring on around you go,
all the way round till you meet that Joe
Dosado to the fay-do-do, promenade with Piroque Joe
He's a happy-go-lucky son of a gun, he always has a lot of fun
Home you go and swing you know, swing a while with Piroque Joe
FIGURE C4, corner progression
Head two couples square thru 4 hands around you do
All the way till you meet those two, dosado on around you do
Circle left, make a two faced line
When you're through you're going to wheel & deal
Then do a right & left thru, turn the girl and dive thru
Square thru 3 hands you go, swing that corner girl you know
Promenade on around you go, promenade with Piroque Joe
*Down in Louisiana where the bayou flows
Lives a little man called Piroque Joe
He wears a red shirt and a pole cat cap
When he walks his gum boots go flip flop flap
ALTERNATE LYRICS
*He's fast as lightning and quick as a cat
He can out run the best muskrat
He can make a piroque go, go, go
That's why they call him Piroque Joe
*He's got a puppet on a string and a trick yo-yo
A pup in his pocket called Teeny Moe
He puts on a show everywhere he goes
That's why they love little Piroque Joe
*Eat boiled shrimp, drink strawberry wine
Dance all night and have a good time
They all keep time to the fiddler's bow
That's why they love little Piroque Joe
