OPENER    Basic - SSD Week 1

Circle left
Headed down life's crooked road
Lots of things I should have known

Those men star right, gonna roll it once around and go
Allemande left that corner girl, run home a dosado
Allemande left that corner, weave the ring
Detour - there's a muddy road ahead
Ah! Swing a little lady round and promenade I said
Detour - I paid no mind to what it said
I should have read that detour sign


FIGURE    Mainstream, corner progression

Heads you promenade, to halfway with your maid
Walk into the middle and do a full square thru
Well four hands and then do a right & left thru my friend
Pass thru, trade by and then slide thru
Square thru 3/4 around the hall
Ah! Swing a little lady round and promenade you all
Detour - I paid no mind to what it said
I should have read that detour sign


MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER    Basic - SSD Week 1

Four little ladies promenade geta walk, walk, walkin' round the ring
Gonna get on home, swing there with your man
Well join a mess o' hands, circle left get movin' round the land
Get an allemande left that corner, weave that ring
Detour - there's a muddy road ahead
Ah! Swing a little lady round and promenade I said
Detour - All these bitter things I find
I should have read that detour sign
