Flexible Chords | (MacGregor 2050) Lee Helsel |
OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER Basic - SSD Week 2
All four ladies chain across the ring
Join hands circle to the left
Girls sweep in, the men sashay, circle left
Girls sweep in, the men sashay, circle left
Allemande your corner, grand old right & left
Hand over hand around and promenade
I want to be in that number
When the saints go marching in
FIGURE Basic, corner progression
All four ladies chain 3/4
Heads whirl away and circle to the left
All four men go forward up and back now
Square thru four hands around the set
Swing thru, centers trade, grand old right and left
Hand over hand around and promenade
*You get a line, I'll get a pole
Head on down to the crawdad hole
Honey, baby mine
ALTERNATE LYRICS
*I don't care what mama don't allow
We're gonna square dance anyhow
Mama don't allow no square dancing here
The 'grand ole right and left' is a bit odd by today's standards. It requires an extra 1/4 turn by the right before starting the call, otherwise it seem to dancers that the side boy and head girl are doing a wrong way grand.
