OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER    Basic - SSD Week 1

4 fillies promenade inside, do-da, do-da
Come back swing your stallion round,
Circle to the left you go
*Well, da camp town ladies sing this song, do-da, do-da
Camp town race track five mile long, oh de do-da-day

Allemande left you know, turn your partner right
And go left allemande the corner, come back and promenade
Try to run all night, try to run all day
Gonna bet my money on the bob-tailed nag, somebody bet on the bay


ALTERNATE LYRICS

*Blind horse stuck in a big mud hole, do-da, do-da
Can't touch bottom with a ten foot pole, oh de do-da-day


*Shooting Star goes 'round the track, do-da, do-da
Wins his race on another horse's back, oh de do-da-day


FIGURE    Mainstream, corner progression

Heads (Sides) square thru and go, do-da, do-da
Meet the corner make a right hand star, oh de do-da-day
Heads (Sides) star by the left, once around inside the set
To the same two, swing thru and then
Boys trade, turn thru you know
Left allemande the corner, come back and promenade
Try to run all night, try to run all day
Gonna bet my money on the bob-tailed nag, somebody bet on the bay
