OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER    Basic

Circle left
*I'm gonna give you thirty days to get back home
I done called up a gypsy woman on the telephone
Allemande left the corner
Turn your partner right
Allemande left that corner, weave the ring
Oh 30 days, oh 30 days
I'm gonna see you get back home in 30 days
Gonna put out a worldwide hoo-doo
That'll be the very thing that'll suit you
I'm gonna see you get back home in 30 days

ALTERNATE LYRICS

*I done talked to the judge in private early this mornin'
Then I went to the sheriff's office and signed a warrant

FIGURE (twice for heads, twice for sides)    Plus, corner progression

Heads (sides) square thru and count to 4 there
Meet that pair pass thru, U-turn back
Single circle to a wave, fan the top for me
Recycle 'round and do the right & left thru
Square thru and count to 3
Swing that corner girl and promenade
Well, I'm a-gonna put out a charge against ya'
That'll be the very thing that'll send ya'
I'm gonna see you get back home in 30 days

TAG

I'm gonna see you get back home in 30 days

I'm gonna give you thirty days to get back home
I done talked to the gypsy woman on the telephone
She gonna send out a world wide hoodoo
That'll be the very thing that'll suit ya
I'm gonna see that you be back home in thirty days

Oh thirty days (thirty days!)
Oh thirty days (thirty days!)
I'm gonna see that you be back home in thirty days
Gonna send out a world wide hoodoo
That'll be the very thing that'll suit ya
I'm gonna see that you be back home in thirty days.

I done talked to the judge in private early this morning
And he took me to the sheriff's office to sign a warrant
Gonna put a false charge a'gin ya (against ya)
That'll be the very thing that'll send ya
I'm gonna see that you be back home in thirty days

Oh thirty days (thirty days)
Oh thirty days (thirty days)
Baby I'm gonna see that you be back home in thirty days
Gonna put a false charge a'gin ya
That'll be the very thing that'll send ya
I'm gonna see that you be back home in thirty days

If I don't get no satisfaction from the judge
I'm gonna take it to the FBI and voice my grudge
If they don't give me no consolation
I'm gonna take it to the United Nations
I'm gonna see that you be back home in thirty days

Oh thirty days! (thirty days)
Oh thirty days! (thirty days)
Babe I'm gonna see that you be back home in thirty days
You don't give me no consolation
I'm gonna take it to the United Nations
I'm gonna see that you be back home in thirty days!
