FIGURE (6 times, no partner change)    Basic - SSD Week 1, no progression

Head two ladies chain across
Same two ladies chain back home
Side two ladies chain across
Same two ladies chain back home
(REFRAIN after each figure)
(everybody)
Swing your partner round and round said Barnacle Bill the sailor
Promenade around the ring said Barnacle Bill the sailor
A big one up, a little one down, Ya make ya big feet jar the ground
Home you go around the ring said Barnacle Bill the sailor


FIGURE   

Head two couples go right and left thru (backaway)
Side two couples you do it too (backaway)
Head two couples go right and left home (backaway)
Sides go home, go home, go home

Head two ladies do si do
Side two ladies do si do
Head men run into the middle and do si do
Side men run into the middle .. and "just shake hands with each other"

(now are you ready for this?) Two head men will chain across
Same two men will chain back home
Two side men will chain across
Two side men will chain back home

Head couples join hands and circle to the left once around inside the set, back out at home
Side couples, step in, join hands and circle RIGHT right, once around inside the ring tonight

(you ready?) Head ladies chain across, side ladies chain across
Head ladies chain back home, side ladies chain back home
Head men chain across, side men chain across
Head men chain back home, side men chain back home
Is everyone back home again?

CLOSER    Basic

Swing your partner round and round said Barnacle Bill the sailor
And bow to your partners all ...
