Bye Bye Blackbird
Eddie Cantor 1926
  (Hi Hat 437)   Dick Waibel
 
two columns

OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER    Basic

Allemande left, allemande thar, forward two, make a star
Bye, bye, blackbird
Shoot that star, full around, corner right, wrong way thar
Bye, bye, blackbird
Shoot that star, left allemande, come back and dosado
Once around, then promenade, around the ring you go
Pack up all your cares and woe, here we go
Singing low blackbird, bye, bye


FIGURE    Mainstream, corner progression

1 & 3 (2 & 4) dosado, same girl, square thru
Bye, bye, blackbird
Right hand star, once around,
Heads center, left hand star
Once around, find the same pair
Touch 1/4, when you do, scoot back and then
Swing the corner lady, then promenade my friend
Make my bed, light the light, I'll be home, late tonight
Blackbird, bye, bye
