Mockingbird (RIV 283) Gary Shoemake

OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK

Grand Square
Everybody now have you heard
I’m gonna buy my gal a mockingbird
And if that mockingbird don’t sing
Left Allemande left and now you Weave that Ring
Well, if that diamond ring don’t shine
It’s surely gonna break this heart of mine.
That’s why, I keep on telling everybody
Say, yeah, yeah, whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa, whoa

FIGURE

The heads [sides] Promenade and take them half way
Come in a Square Through four hands you go
All the way around, do a Right & Left Thru
Veer left and Ferris Wheel you do
Square thru three to your corner, there
Swing that corner girl and Promenade that square
And that’s why, I keep on tellin’ everybody
Say, yeah, yeah, whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa, whoa

CLOSER

Grand Square
Hear me now and understand
I’m gonna find her some peace of mind
And if that peace of mind don’t stay
Left Allemande and Weave around that way
Now, if that better way ain’t so
I’ll ride with the tide and I’ll go with the flow
And that’s why I keep on shoutin’ in your ear
Say, yeah, yeah, whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa

TAG

That’s why, I keep on shoutin’ in your ear
Say, yeah, yeah, whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa
