Hurricane (Shade 110)

Cherie Cox

OPENER - CLOSER

Circle Left
I was born in the rain, On the Pontchartrain
Underneath the Louisiana moon
Men star right roll it one time

Left allemande and weave that ring

The high black water, A devil's daughter
She's hard, she's cold, and she's mean
But nobody taught her, It takes a lot of water
To wash away New Orleans

FIGURE

Heads Promenade and Go Half Way
Walk In and Pass the Ocean for Me, Extend
Swing Thru Now and The Boys Run
Bend the Line and a Right and Left Thru
Flutterwheel Across, and then Slide Thru
Swing Your Corner Lady Promenade
Bridges Are Getting’ Lower
Shrimp Boats are Comin’ Home

MIDDLE BREAK

Grand Square
Man came down from Chicago
He gonna set that levee right
He said, "It needs to be at least three feet higher
It won't make it through the night" Allemande and Weave
But the old man down in the Quarter
He said "Don't you listen to that boy
"The water'll be down by the morning
"And he'll be back to Illinois"

Closer
Four Boys Promenade Inside That Ring

Get Back Home and You Swing

Join Hands Circle Left, Around That Ring

Left Allemande and Weave

The high black water, A devil's daughter
She's hard, she's cold, and she's mean
But nobody taught her, It takes a lot of water
To wash away New Orleans
