Big Ship
Cliff Richard 1969
  (GR8 Trax 029)   Glenn Wilson
 
two columns

OPENER    Basic - SSD Week 4

Sides face, grand square
I do believe my eyes are tellin' me lies
I saw as ship as sure as baked apple pies
Hiding in corners and climbing up trees
Love is a big ship, following me

4 ladies chain, turn 'em and then
Chain them right back and then we'll all promenade
Love is a big ship, following me

(8 beat instrumental bridge)

FIGURE (1 & 3)    Mainstream, corner progression

Heads promenade travel halfway and then
Down the middle, a right & left thru turn that girl
Flutter wheel across, sweep 1/4 more
Pass thru and then, slide thru for sure
Square thru 3 hands you know
Swing with your corner, promenade her and go
Love is a big ship, following me

(8 beat instrumental bridge)

FIGURE (2 & 4)    Mainstream - SSD Week 10, corner progression

Heads square thru
*Some like it cool, some like it hot
Swing thru and then all the boys run right
Ferris wheel now and the centers pass thru
Slide thru and then we'll all square thru
3 hands, the corner you swing
Swing with your corner, promenade round the ring
Love is a big ship, following me

(8 beat instrumental bridge)

ALTERNATE LYRICS

*Make me feel good, while you're shakin' me down

MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER    Basic - SSD Week 4

Sides face, grand square
Just like, just like a big ship
Just like, just like a big ship
Just like, just like a big ship
Following me

Allemande left, weave the ring
Just like, just like a big ship
Swing your lady, promenade her back home now
Following me, following me

TAG

Swing her
Following me, following me
