two columns

OPENER    Basic - SSD Week 11

Circle left
Out on the edge of town I bought a two-room brick
I moved in as soon as I got the plumbing all fixed

Left allemande that corner, come back and box the gnat
Four ladies promenade inside the ring like that
Go one time around then swing there with your man
Left allemande and promenade that old land
I've got a million years to pay it off with payments overdue
I've got those mean old Subdivision Blues


FIGURE    Mainstream - SSD Week 10, corner progression

Heads square thru 4 hands around you go
Circle four with the outside two and make your line you know
Walk up to the middle and back, a right & left thru I say
Flutter wheel go full around that way, and now you'll
Slide thru, pass thru, trade by and swing
Left allemande, promenade that old ring
A million years to pay it off with payments overdue
I've got those mean old Subdivision Blues


MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER    Basic - SSD Week 11

Four ladies promenade inside the ring you go
Box the gnat at home then you swing there with your beau
Join hands, circle to the left, go round the ring I say
Left allemande, then you weave the ring that way
*There was water in the basement, it looked like a swimming pool
Dosado that lady, promenade go round the room
**A million years to pay it off with payments overdue
I've got those mean old Subdivision Blues


ALTERNATE LYRICS

*Making those payments worked my fingers to the bone

**A nineteen year old girl next door was sunnin' in the nude
