OPENER/BREAK/CLOSER

CIRCLE LEFT

I hear people talkin' bad,
About the way we have to live here in this country,
Left Allemande the corner and then you Dosido

Allemande left and weave the ring

An' I don't mind 'em switchin' sides,
An' standin' up for things they believe in.

Swing and Promenade

When they're runnin' down my country, man,

They're walkin' on the fightin' side of me.

 

FIGURE:

Heads (Sides) Square Thru

Right and Left Thru

Swing Thru

Scoot Back

2 Ladies Chain

Chain her back and Promenade

When they're runnin' down my country, man,

They're walkin' on the fightin' side of me.

Additional Lyrics

 

I hear people talkin' bad,
About the way we have to live here in this country,
Harpin' on the wars we fight,
An' gripin' 'bout the way things oughta be.
An' I don't mind 'em switchin' sides,
An' standin' up for things they believe in.
When they're runnin' down my country, man,

They're walkin' on the fightin' side of me.

Yeah, walkin' on the fightin' side of me.

 

I read about some squirrely guy,
Who claims, he just don't believe in fightin'.
An' I wonder just how long,
The rest of us can count on bein' free.
If you don't love it, leave it: Let this song I'm singin' be a warnin'.
They love our milk an' honey, but they preach about some other way of livin'.
