two columns

OPENER    Basic - SSD Week 1

Circle left
I hear people talkin' bad about the way they
Have to live here in this country

Left allemande that corner girl, come back and dosado
The men star left, turn partner by the right
Left allemande, come back and promenade her
When they're running down our country
Man, they're walkin' on the fightin' side of me


FIGURE    Basic - SSD Week 10, corner progression

1 & 3 (2 & 4) you promenade go 1/2 way round that ring
Walk up and square thru
Dance 4 hands go round that land
With the outside two go right and left thru
Pass thru, trade by, swing the corner lady
Promenade her
When they're running down our country
Man, they're walkin' on the fightin' side of me


MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER    Basic - SSD Week 4

Sides face grand square
They're walkin' on the fightin' side of me
Running down a way of life our fightin'
Men have fought and died to keep
If you don't love it, leave it, let this song
That I'm singing be a warning

Promenade
When they're running down my country, hoss
You're walkin' on the fightin' side of me
