Shuttin´ Detroit Down    (ESP 1124)  Elmer Sheffield

OPENER



Circle Left
My daddy taught me in the country everyone’s the same
You work hard for your dollar and never pass the blame
Now men star right and you roll it ‘round
Left Allemande and Weave The Ring
In the real world they’re shuttin’ Detroit down
When you meet her boys promenade go walkin’ around
DC’s bailing out those bankers while the farmers auction ground
In the real world they’re shuttin’ Detroit down.

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
While the boss man takes his bonus paid jets on out of town
In the real world they’re shuttin’ Detroit down.

MIDDLE BREAK



Circle Left
see all them big shots whining on my evening news
‘Bout how they’re losing billions and it’s up to me and you.
The men star right and you roll it round
Left Allemande and Weave The Ring
In the real world they’re shuttin’ Detroit down.
When you meet her now promenade go walking around
While they’re living up on Wall Street in that New York City town
Here in the real world they’re shuttin’ Detroit down.

CLOSER



Circle Left
An old man’s been working in that plant most all his life
Now his pension plan’s been cut in half and he can’t afford to die
The men star right and you roll it ‘round
Left Allemande and Weave The Ring
In the real world they’re shuttin’ Detroit down
When you meet her boys promenade, go walkin’ around
While the boss man takes his bonus paid jets on out of town
In the real world they’re shuttin’ Detroit down
