OPENER Basic - SSD Week 1
Circle left
I saw the light on the night
That I pass by her window
Men star by the right once around tonight
Left allemande, and you weave the ring
She was my woman
Swing and you promenade
As she deceived me, I watched
And went out of my mind
FIGURE Mainstream, corner progression
Heads (sides) promenade take it halfway around
Sides (heads) you square thru 4 hands you go
Then a right & left thru
Turn that girl, eight chain 6
She was my woman
Swing and promenade
As she deceived me, I watched
And went out of my mind
MIDDLE BREAK Basic - SSD Week 4
Sides face grand square
My, my, my
Delilah
Why, why, why
Delilah
Allemande left and weave the ring
I, I could see that girl was no good for me
But I was lost like a slave that no man can free
FIGURE (ALTERNATE) Mainstream, corner progression
Sides Face, Grand Square
At break of day, when that man drove away
I was waiting
I crossed the street to her house
And she opened the door
Sides square thru 4
She stood there laughing
Swing and promenade
I felt the knife in my hand
And she laughed no more
CLOSER Basic - SSD Week 4
Sides face grand square
My, my, my
Delilah
Why, why, why
Delilah
Allemande left and weave the ring
So, so before the come to break down the door
Forgive me Delilah, I just couldn't take any more
TAG
Chain the girls over and back
Forgive me Delilah
I just couldn't take any more
