The Ballad of Jed Clampett Lester Flatt and Earl Scruggs 1962 | (Quadrille 922) Shane Greer |
OPENER - CLOSER Basic - SSD Week 4
Sides face, grand square
Come and listen to a story 'bout a man named Jed
A poor mountaineer, barely kept his family fed
Then one day, he was shootin' at some food
And up through the ground came a bubbling crude
Four boys promenade one time around the ring, you're gonna go
Come back, swing your lady, promenade around the ring
Then one day he was shootin' at some food
And up through the ground came a bubbling crude
FIGURE Basic, corner progression
Heads (sides) square thru, get four in the middle, count 'em four
Find that corner lady, make a right hand star
Heads star by the left hand, go moving around the ring
To the corner lady meet, do the right and left thru
Swing thru, two by two, boy run around the girl
Chain down the line, keep that lady, promenade the ring
Then one day he was shootin at some food
And up through the ground came a bubbling crude
MIDDLE BREAK Basic - SSD Week 4
Sides face, grand square
The next thing you know, old Jed's a millionaire
The kin-folks said, Jed, move away from there
They said, California is the place you ought to be
So they loaded up their truck and they moved to Beverly
Circle left
Hills that is ... , swimming pools, movie stars
Allemande left, promenade
Then one day he was shootin' at some food
And up through the ground came a bubbling crude
