Preaching Up A Storm

OPENER

Circle left
 There was a crowd gathered down by the river
    Where me and Bennie Thompson used to play 
You're gonna walk around your corner lady, seesaw your own
Left allemande and weave around the ring
 They were down by the river 
Swing your girl and promenade
 Singing peace in the valley and preaching up a storm 

FIGURE

Heads (sides) promenade, you go about 1/2 way
Walk into the middle, do the right and left thru
You're gonna square thru 4 hands around, go
Meet the sides, touch 1/4, go
Scoot back, the boys fold, the girls turn thru
Star thru, the boys trade..twice and promenade
  Singing peace in the valley and preaching up a storm 

BREAK

Circle left
 Well, they would sing and it would rain & it was frightning
    Some things are hard to understand when you are 8 
You're gonna walk around your corner lady, seesaw your own
Left allemande and weave around the ring
 They were down by the river 
Swing your girl and promenade
 Singing peace in the valley and preaching up a storm 

CLOSER

Circle left
 I was there but I could barely hear the sermon
    I was scared and didn't want to get up close 
You're gonna walk around your corner lady, seesaw your own
Left allemande and weave around the ring
 They were down by the river 
Swing your girl and promenade
 Singing peace in the valley and preaching up a storm
