Stand By Me
Ben E. King 1961
  (Square Dancetime 12)   Jack Murtha
 
two columns

OPENER    Basic - SSD Week 4

Sides face, grand square
When the night has come, and the land is dark
And the moon, is the only light we'll see

Circle left
No, I won't be afraid, no, I won't be afraid
Promenade
Just as long as you say, stand by me

FIGURE    Mainstream, corner progression

Heads promenade halfway, lead to the right
Veer to the left, bend the line
Pass thru, tag the line, face in
Pass thru, tag the line, face in
Slide thru, square thru 3
Swing your corner, promenade
Just as long as you say, stand by me

MIDDLE BREAK    Basic - SSD Week 4

Sides face, grand square
(Music only)
Four ladies chain, four ladies chain back, promenade
(Music only)

CLOSER    Basic - SSD Week 4

Sides face, grand square
If the sky that we look upon, should tumble and fall
Or the mountains should crumble to the sea

Circle left
I won't cry, I won't cry, no, I won't shed a tear
Promenade
Just as long as you say, stand by me

TAG

Four ladies star right all the way around
Courtesy turn and bow

This record is dedicated to Thelma.
