Hoyt Axton 1979

two columns

OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER    Basic

Circle left
*Della and the dealer and a dog named Jake and a cat named Kalamazoo
Left the city in a pick-up truck going to make some dreams come true

Walk out around that corner gal, going to see saw around your own
Left allemande that corner, then weave around your own
If that cat could talk what tales he'd tell
About Della and the dealer and the dog as well
But the cat was cool and he never said a mumbling word

Swing your own and promenade, it's once around the ring
Della and the dealer and a dog named Jake
And a cat named Kalamazoo


ALTERNATE LYRICS

*Randy played her a sweet love song and Della got a fire in her eye
Dealer had a knife, dog had a gun and the cat had a shot of rye
Dealer was a killer, he was evil and mean, there was death in Tucson town
Two shadows ran from the far back door and one stayed on the ground


FIGURE    C4, corner progression

All four couples promenade halfway around that ring
Heads (sides) to the middle with a star thru
Do a California twirl you know
Curlique that corner gal, do a walk & dodge you do
Now a partner trade then a right & left thru
You flutter wheel it's full around and then pass thru
Swing your corner once around and all promenade
If that cat could talk what tales he'd tell
About Della and the dealer and the dog as well
But the cat was cool and he never said a mumbling word
