two columns

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
