OPENER    Basic - SSD Week 1

Four ladies promenade, go one time around
Get back and swing your man, go one time and now
Join hands and make a big ring, you circle left go round
Allemande left that corner, then weave your ring
*He carries his guitar in a gunny sack
You swing your lady go around promenade like that
**He plays in a big band, playing his guitar
Go, Johnny, go...go, Johnny, go


FIGURE    Mainstream, corner progression

Heads (Sides) square thru go 4 hands and now
You make a right hand star turn it one full turn,
Heads (Sides) star left all the way now, you touch 1/4 now
Scoot back, boys fold, two ladies chain across you go
Chain the ladies back to promenade home
*He never ever learned to read or write so well
**But he could play guitar just like a ringing a bell


MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER    Basic - SSD Week 4

Sides face, grand square
(32 beat guitar)
Four ladies promenade, go walking round, get back
You swing your man and promenade your ring
*He plays in a big band, playing his guitar
Go Johnny, go...go Johnny, go
