She Didn't Know The Gun Was Loaded    (OT 8201)   Don Atkins

OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK



Join your hands circle to the left, circle left go round the ring
Allemande that corner maid, grand ole right & left you go
When you meet that pretty little maid, dosado in the evening shade
Men star by the left go round the ring
You turn your partner by the right and your corner by the left
You promenade go round the ring
She didn't know the gun was loaded
*And she shot that old mule in the head

ALTERNATE LYRICS



*And she caught me off guard, bending over in the yard

*She shot a great big hole through my hat



*She shot a great bitg hole in the roof

FIGURE



Head 2 couples right & left thru
Full turn round that's what you do
Same 2 a 1/2 sashay, backtrack, while you're that way
1/2 square thru go cross the set
Right & left thru, you're not done yet
Dive thru, California twirl
Left allemande, you dosado now
Your corner swing, you promenade
She didn't know the gun was loaded
And she shot a great big hole in my foot

TAG



She shot old Grandpa out of bed
