Shanty Town
OPENER - BREAK - CLOSER
Circle left
It's only a shanty in old shanty town
Roof is so slanty, It touches the ground
Men star right, one time around tonight
Left allemande and weave the ring
I'd give up my palace, If I were a king
Swing your girl and promenade around that ring
There's a queen waitin' there with a silvery crown
In that shanty in old shanty town
FIGURE
Heads promenade, half way around
Right and left thru, Turn the girl around
Square thru, Four hands around you know
Dosado that corner, once around
Touch a quarter, follow your neighbour and spread
To the corner - swing that corner and promenade
There's a queen waitin' there with a silvery crown
In that shanty in old shanty town
ALTERNATIVE BREAK OR CLOSE
Sides face grand square
There's a shanty in the town, In a little bit of ground
Where the green grass grows all around, all around
Loose stone, roof's going, How it tumbles to the ground
Just a little grass shack, Set way back
25 feet from the railway track, Hangs on my heart all the time
Allemande and weave
Be so happy oh so happy, If I were a king wouldn't mean a thing
Promenade
Hey a queen waitin' there, In her rocking chair
Blowing her top and combing her hair
Looking all around and trucking on down
Cause I've gotta get back to my shanty town
