Cotton Pickin' Time    (DR 18)   Bill Reynolds

OPENER - CLOSER



Sides face, grand square
On a Mississippi morning my dad yelled out a warning
"Son, you'd better hit that cotton field real soon!"
On my way down to the field as I passed old Johnson's mill
I saw Becky Morgan swimming in the nude

Left allemande your corner, dosado your own
Left allemande and promenade
In the days of my December, I always will remember
Sowin' oats at cotton pickin' time

FIGURE



Heads square thru count 'em 4 hands you go
Around that corner lady dosado
Swing thru and then those boys run to the right
Bend the line and do the right & left thru
Flutter wheel across, now you slide thru and swing
Swing the corner lady and promenade
In the days of my December, I always will remember
Sowin' oats at cotton pickin' time

ALTERNATE FIGURE



Heads square thru 4 hands you go now
Around the corner lady dosado
Swing thru and then, those boys run to the right
Ferris wheel and spread
Star thru, square thru 3 hands around you go
Swing the corner lady, promenade
In the days of my December, I always will remember
Sowin' oats at cotton pickin' time
