Down On The Bayou (SG 0214) Tom Manning

OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK

Circle Left
*I LIKE THE TASTE OF GUMBO AND THE SOUND OF A CAJUN BAND
Left Allemande the corner, Dosado you own
Left Allemande and Weave The Ring
**I LIKE LAYING WITH YOU IN THE SHADE
Swing your girl around and Promenade
I WANT TO BE BY YOU DOWN ON THE BAYOU
HOLDING YOU IN CAJUN LAND

FIGURE

Heads Square Thru count 'em 4 hands round
You make a Right Hand Star
The Heads Star Left, roll it one time and then
Same pair and do a Dosado
Swing Thru and then the Boys Trade
Swing the corner lady round and Promenade
I WANT TO BE BY YOU DOWN ON THE BAYOU
HOLDING YOU IN CAJUN LAND

CLOSER

Grand Square
I WANT TO BE BY YOU DOWN ON THE BAYOU
SPENDING ALL MY DAYS
HAVING FUN LAUGHING IN THE SUN
WATCHING THE MUSKRATS PLAY
Circle Left
HOLDING YOU TIGHT IN THE MOONLIGHT
Left Allemande and Promenade
I WANT TO BE BY YOU DOWN ON THE BAYOU
HOLDING YOU IN CAJUN LAND

TAG

I WANT TO BE BY YOU DOWN ON THE BAYOU
HOLDING YOU IN CAJUN LAND
I WANT TO BE BY YOU DOWN ON THE BAYOU
HOLDING YOU IN CAJUN LAND

ADDITIONAL LYRICS

* DOWN ON THE BANKS OF A RIVER
WHERE THE LIVE OAK MOSS HANGS DOWN
