OPENER - CLOSER    Basic - SSD Week 1

Circle left
Be sure it's true when you say I love you
It's a sin to tell a lie

Left allemande that corner
Do a dosado your own
Gents star left once around, till you get back home you do
Home you go, dosado, do a left allemande
Swing your own and promenade
Be sure it's true when you say I love you
It's a sin to tell a lie


FIGURE    Basic, corner progression

Now those heads (sides) promenade go 1/2 around that ring
Into the middle, touch 1/4 and then, boys run
Square thru you know, 3/4 round you go
Now trade by and do a dosado, one time around you know
Make a right hand star once around, exactly once & then
Girls turn back, swing that man and promenade
Be sure it's true when you say I love you
It's a sin to tell a lie


BREAK    Basic - SSD Week 1

Circle left
I cross my heart and hope to die
I'll never never never tell another white lie
Took a little doll out on a date last nite
Next to her, Gravel Gertie would have looked all right

Allemande left with the corner, do a dosado your own
Gents star left once around, till you git back home you go
Home you go, do a dosado, do a left allemande
Swing your own and promenade
So Lord have mercy on a no account sinner
Give me 1 more chance to let another guy win her
Cross my heart and hope to die
I'll never never never tell another white lie
