opener/closer

sides face grand parade
 i ain't had a bite cause the moon's too bright
    wish i had a big one or 2
    my trout lines set & my hook's all wet
    and mama's got the catfish blues 
    don't like to see her unhappy
    she treats me like a wart on a tree
    i hate to see mama with the catfish blues
    and the catfish lyin' in the river asleep 

figure

1&3 (2&4) star thru, do a partner trade
touch 1/4, follow your neighbor & spread
boys you trade, then recycle friend
left allemande & weave around that ring
 don't like to see her unhappy 
dosado, swing your corner, promenade
 i hate to see mama with the catfish blues
    and the catfish lyin' in the river asleep 

break

circle left
 there's a bottle 'o wine laying easy on my mind
    i dug enough bait to catch a few 
left allemande, then touch 1/4 at home
boys run, left allemande, weave the ring
 don't like to see her unhappy 
swing your girl and then you promenade
 i hate to see mama with the catfish blues
    and the catfish lyin' in the river asleep 

alternate opener lines

 there's a bottle of wine layin' easy on my mind
    i dug enough bait to catch a few
    my rear end's wet but i cannot forget
    mama's got the catfish blues
    don't like to see her unhappy
    she treats me like a wart on a tree
    i hate to see mama with the catfish blues
    and the catfish lyin' in the river asleep
