OPENER Basic - SSD Week 1
Circle left
**When I wake up, well I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who wakes up next to you
Left allemande now, you'll dosado go around your own
Allemande left your corner lady, weave the ring
When I go out, yeah I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who goes along with you
Promenade
When I'm working, yes I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who's working hard for you
FIGURE Mainstream - SSD Week 11, corner progression
Heads (sides) you square thru, four hands around the ring
Meet the corner lady do a dosado, (make a wave)
Swing thru, boys run right around that girl
Ladies trade (in the middle), now tag the line
Girls turn around and swing
Swing that girl and promenade the ring
Just to be the man who'd walk a 1,000 miles
To fall down at your door

But I would walk 500 miles
And I would meet my girl and swing
Just to be the man who'd walk a 1,000 miles
To fall down at your door

**When I come home, oh I know I'm gonna be

And I would walk 500 more
Just to be the man who'd walk a 1,000 miles
To fall down at your door
