Shortnin' Bread

Dan Nordbye

4 Ladies Chain the ring, turn that girl, get around and sing
Roll the lady with a Half Sashay, Circle to the Left get around that way
4 Ladies Rollaway, Circle to the Left gonna hear me sing
Allemande with the Corner of the hall, everybody now gonna Weave the Ring
Put on the skillet, slip on the lid, Mama gonna make a little shortnin' bread
Swing your lady, get around and then, Promenade and get around my friend
Well, Mama little baby love shortnin' shortnin'
Mama little baby love shortnin' bread
Mama little baby love shortnin' shortnin'
Mama little baby love shortnin' bread

Heads/Sides Lead to the Right you know, Circle to a Line you go
Up to the middle and back with you, hey now do a Right & Left Thru
Turn the girl and you Rollaway, up to the middle and back I say
Star Thru and a U-Turn Back, and a Right & Left Grand around that track
Hand over hand around you fly, Partner Right and you pull her on by
Swing with the next little lady go, Promenade and go man go
Mama little baby love shortnin' shortnin'
Mama little baby love shortnin' bread
Mama little baby love shortnin' shortnin'
Mama little baby love shortnin' bread

Mama little baby love shortnin' shortnin'
Mama little baby love shortnin' bread
