two columns

OPENER - CLOSER    Basic - SSD Week 4

Sides (Heads) face grand square
Four strong winds that blow lonely
Seven seas that run high
All those things that don't change come what may

Circle left
But our good times are all gone
Left allemande, you swing and promenade
I'll look for you if I'm ever back this way

FIGURE    Mainstream, corner progression

Heads (Sides) square thru 4 hands round
Dosado
Swing thru, boys run right
Tag the line go all the way through and cloverleaf and then
Girls square thru 3 hands round
Swing the corner, promenade on down
* For the winds sure can blow cold way out there

ALTERNATE LYRICS

* But we've been through that a hundred times or more

MIDDLE BREAK    Basic - SSD Week 4

Heads (Sides) face grand square
Think I'll go out to Alberta
Weather is good there in the fall
Got some friends that I could go to working for

Circle left
Still I wish you'd change your mind
Left allemande, you swing and promenade
But we've been through that a hundred times or more
