Alabama (RB 0255) Johnny Jones

OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER

Circle left
*Drinking was forbidden in my Christian family home
Walk around your corner, then box the gnat you know
4 ladies promenade, roll it once inside the ring
Box the gnat at home, then you weave around the ring
And my home's in Alabama
Swing your own and promenade
My home's in Alabama
Southern born and southern bred

FIGURE

Heads promenade walking 1/2 around you go
Down the middle and square thru, it's 4 hands you know
Go all the way around, right & left thru and turn the girl
Veer to the left and ferris wheel into the middle and go
Square thru 3/4 round
That corner swing and promenade
My home's in Alabama
Southern born and southern bred

ALTERNATE LYRICS

*I learned to play the flat top on them good old Gospel songs

Had to learn about the ladies too young to understand
