Five Pounds Of Possum    (RB 3077)   Mike Hoose

OPENER



Walk around that corner girl, see saw your own
Join hands circle to the left, go walking around you go
Men star by the right, in the middle & roll it 'round and then
Allemande that corner girl and weave around the ring
There's five pounds of possum in my headlights tonight
Swing your girl around and promenade tonight
We'll all have possum gravy, O what a wonderful sight
There's five pounds of possum in my headlights tonight

FIGURE



Those heads (sides) promenade take her 1/2 around you go
Down the middle square thru four hands around you know
Go all the way around then touch 1/4 there
Scoot back, the boy go in, boy run around the girl again
Star thru, pass thru, trade by and swing
Swing that corner girl and promenade the ring
We'll all have possum gravy, O what a wonderful sight
There's five pounds of possum in my headlights tonight

MIDDLE BREAK



Sides face, grand square
My children are hungry, my dog needs a bone
I ain't got no job, now I'm just driving home
It's dark and it's dusty, but what a wonderful sight
There's five pounds of possum in my headlights tonight

Circle left
There's five pounds of possum in my headlights tonight
Allemande the corner girl and promenade tonight
We'll all have possum gravy, O what a wonderful sight
There's five pounds of possum in my headlights tonight

CLOSER



Four boys promenade go once inside the ring
Get back swing your honey 'round and 'round I sing
Join hands circle to the left, go walking around you go
Allemande that corner girl and weave around the ring
There's five pounds of possum in my headlights tonight
If I can run him over, everything's gonna be alright
We'll all have possum gravy, O what a wonderful sight
There's five pounds of possum in my headlights tonight

TAG



Swing her
There's five pounds of possum in my headlights tonight
