Louisiana Red Dirt Highway
(Quadrille 879
)
Sam Lowe
OPENER
Circle left
Pulled out the driveway past an old tar paper shack
Left allemande that corner, come back you dosado
Men star left, turn thru, left allemande
Come back, swing the girl around and promenade
It's gona be a long time
Before I travel down this red dirt road again
FIGURE
Heads square thru in the middle
4 hands around the ring you go, dosado
Swing thru and then the boy run right
Ferris wheel in the middle when you pass thru
Right and left thru, roll a half sashay
Swing the corner, promenade
*It's gonna be a long time
Before I travel down this red dirt road again
BREAK - CLOSER
Circle left
Louisiana red dirt highway
I've been down a million times
Men star right and turn it round now
Allemande left and weave the ring
I'm gonna take 'em to the city
Where a man can swing and promenade
I'm already pretty lonesome
And my tires ain't even slung off all the clay
TAG
I'm already pretty lonesome
And my tires ain't even slung off all the clay

*And mama done the cookin' and the cleanin'
And taught us what was good
