OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER Basic - SSD Week 4
Sides face, grand square
*I am a man of constant sorrow
I've seen trouble all my days
I bid farewell to old Kentucky
The place where I was born and raised
4 ladies promenade inside that 'ol ring
Now swing your man and promenade
I bid farewell to old Kentucky
The place where I was born and raised
ALTERNATE LYRICS
*Six long years, I've been in trouble
No pleasures here on Earth I've found
For in this world I'm bound to ramble
I've got no friends to help me now
(Repeat last two lines for promenade tag)
*Maybe your friends think I'm a stranger
My face you'll never see no more
There's one promise that is given
I'll meet you on God's golden shore
(Repeat last two lines for promenade tag)
FIGURE Basic - SSD Week 10, corner progression
Heads promenade go halfway around
Walk in, square thru 4
4 hand around and then, swing thru when you're done
Boy trade and now boy run, bend the line
Square thru 2, trade by, swing the corner, promenade
It's "Fare Thee Well" to my old lover
Perhaps I'll die upon the train
