Swamp river Days (KDM 148) Chris Froggatt (John Fogarty) 1997

OPENER

Circle Left

Two lane, shining in the July dust

4 Men, Star by the Right, one time around and then

Left Allemande, Weave the Ring

Pulled my pickup over the hill

Swing your girl, you Promenade her too

Give me those swamp river days again

FIGURE

Heads Square Thru, 4 hands now

Hey meet those 2, Circle 4, you Make a Line now

Go Up and Back

Pass Thru, Wheel and Deal

Double Pass Thru, Cloverleaf

Centres Pass Thru

Corner Swing, you Promenade her too

Give me those swamp river days again

MIDDLE BREAK

Join hands, Circle Left now

Sat down in the shade of a cottonwood tree

4 Men Star by the Right, one time around that old ring for me

Allemande Left, Weave the Ring

Skinny river kids swim in my mind

Swing your girl, you Promenade her in time

Give me those swamp river days again

CLOSER

Circle Left

Two lane, shining in the July dust

4 Men Star by the Right, one time around there you know

Left Allemande, now Weave the Ring

Pulled my pickup over the hill

Down the slide gravel through the cattails

Give me those swamp river days again

TAG

Swing her there

Give me those swamp river days again

ORIGINAL LYRICS

Two-lane
Shinin' in the july dust
Heat risin' off the road
Out in front of my truck
Pulled my pick-up over the hill
Down the slide gravel through the cat-tails
Give me those swamp river days again

Sat down in the shade of a cotton wood tree
Pretty soon the swamp critters' callin' me
Skinny river kids swim in my mind
Hucklebums on cane-pole time
Give me those swamp river days again

Old memories out in the crick
Playin' hooky with a hobo stick
Old memories startin' to fade
Take me away

Cody river playin' on the radio
Takes me back to a girl I used to know
Sweet Susie do you think about me
That was good as it's ever gonna be
Give me those swamp river days again
Give me those swamp river days again
