OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER    Basic - SSD Week 1

Circle left
*In North Carolina way back in the hills
Lived my old pappy and he had him a still

Boys star right once around tonight
Left allemande and then you weave the ring
**Well he brewed white lightning till the sun went down
Swing your lady, promenade the town
Mighty mighty pleasing, pappy's corn squeezing
Shhhhh, white lightning


ALTERNATE LYRICS

*City slicker came and he said I'm tough
I've just got to taste that powerful stuff


**Well I heard him moaning as he hit the ground

*I asked my pappy why he called his brew
White lightning 'stead of mountain dew


**Well I took a little sip and right away I knew
My eyes bugged out and my face turned blue
Lightning started flashing, thunder started crashing
Shhhhh, white lightning


FIGURE    Mainstream, corner progression

Heads (sides) promenade 1/2 around the floor
While the sides (heads) flutter wheel and sweep 1/4 more
Pass thru and then you do a right and left thru
Pass thru, trade by and do an eight chain 4
Well g-men, t-men, revenuers too
Swing your corner and promenade her too
They were lookin' tryin' to book him
But my pappy kept on cooking
Shhhhh, white lightning
