Fightin' Side Of Me   (Jopat 211)   Joe Porritt

OPENER    Basic

Circle left
I hear people talkin' bad about the way they
Have to live here in this country
Left allemande that corner girl, come back and dosado
The men star left, turn partner by the right
Left allemande, come back and promenade her
When they're running down our country
Man, they're walkin' on the fightin' side of me

FIGURE    Basic, corner progression

1 & 3 (2 & 4) you promenade go 1/2 way round that ring
Walk up and square thru
Dance 4 hands go round that land
With the outside two go right and left thru
Pass thru, trade by, swing the corner lady
Promenade her
When they're running down our country
Man, they're walkin' on the fightin' side of me

MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER    Mainstream

Sides face grand square
They're walkin' on the fightin' side of me
Running down a way of life our fightin'
Men have fought and died to keep
If you don't love it, leave it, let this song
That I'm singing be a warning
Promenade
When they're running down my country, hoss
You're walkin' on the fightin' side of me
