Opener/Break/Closer: (Grand Square)
I grew up in the country in the backwoods on a farm,
Grains, dark beans, and cornbread, but we weren't poor by far,
We had a little money, but we didn't have a car,
On Friday nights, we'd hitch a ride out to Jesse's barn,
The four little Ladies gonna Promenade, once inside the ring I said,
Get back home and Dosado and Promenade you know.
Swing her to the left and swing her to the right, Promenade and dance all night,
We didn't have much but we had all night, Out in Jesse's barn.
Alternate Lyrics:
One night after we'd married, w had a little fight,
Went off for a couple of days and I don't know who was right,
So w went out for a walk one night but we didn't go too far,
We found what we were lookin' for out in Jesse's barn.
Well a lot of years have passed and gone and Jesse's gone away,
I missed him when he left us, but I miss him more today.
Sometimes late on Friday nights, we'll walk but not too far,
You can still hear music playin' out in Jesse's barn.
Figure:
Head two couples Lead to the Right, Circle To A Line,
Go Forward Up & Back, and a Right & Left Thru in time,
Square Thru and go, 4 hands around you know,
All the way and then, Centers Square Thru 3,
Outside pair do a Partner Trade, and everybody Pass Thru I said,
Swing your corner lady round and Promenade her too,
Swing her to the left and swing her to the right, Promenade and dance all night,
We didn't have much but we had all night, Out in Jesse's barn.
Tag:
Swing her to the left and swing her to the right, Promenade and dance all night,
We didn't have much but we had all night, Out in Jesse's barn.
