two columns

OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER   

Allemande left the corner, then dosado your maid
Allemande left the corner, come back and promenade
You promenade your lady, promenade but not too far
The girls move on, the men star right, and pass her in that star
Next time around do a dopaso, that's partner left you know
Corner right and partner left, keep her and promeno
You promenade her home and swing and sing my worried song
I'm worried now, but I won't be worried long


FIGURE    A1, corner progression

Head two couples half sashay and pass thru from there
Go around one and star thru in the middle of the square
You frontier whirl and cross trail, that corner girl you swing
Allemande left, now weave around that ring (sing)
*It takes a worried man to sing a worried song
It takes a worried man to promenade along
It takes a worried man to swing her twice at home
I'm worried now, but I won't be worried long


ALTERNATE LYRICS

*I bought myself a PA set, took every cent I owned
I learned three brand new patter calls and wrote one of my own
I hit the road three weeks ago, just wrote for a ticket home
I'm worried now, but I won't be worried long


TAG

You swing her again
We won't be worried long
