Geisha Girl Hank Locklin 1957 | (A & S 123) Barry Wonson |
OPENER Basic - SSD Week 4
Sides face grand square
Have you ever heard a love song
That you didn't understand
Were you ever in a teahouse
On the island of Japan
4 ladies chain, Have you ever travelled over
Chain 'em back, Many thousand miles, Promenade
To see a pretty Geisha girl
Dressed in oriental smile
FIGURE Basic, corner progression
Heads square thru count 'em 4 hands round
You make a right hand star
The heads star left, roll it one time and then
Same pair and do a dosado
Swing thru and then the boys trade
Swing the corner lady round and promenade
I love my pretty geisha girl
Where the ocean breezes blow
MIDDLE BREAK Basic - SSD Week 4
Sides face grand square
I stood and watched the sunrise
By the waters of the sea
And wondered how much beauty
In this world could that be
4 ladies chain My dreams are all worth dreaming
Chain 'em back and it makes my life worthwhile, Promenade
To see a pretty Geisha girl
Dressed in oriental smile
CLOSER Basic - SSD Week 4
Sides face grand square
They've read it in the tea leaves
It's written in the sand
I found love by the heartful
In that foreign distant land
(Allemande and weave) Tell the homefolks that I'm happy
With someone that's true I know
I love a pretty Geisha girl
Where the ocean breezes blow
TAG
Love a pretty Geisha girl
Where the ocean breezes blow
