If I Only Had A Brain
  (A & S 136)   Barry Wonson
 
two columns

OPENER    Basic - SSD Week 4

Sides face grand square
I could while away the hours, conferrin' with the flowers
Consultin' with the rain
And my head I'd be scratchin' while my thoughts were busy hatchin'
If I only had a brain
(Allemande and weave)
Oh, I would tell you why
The ocean's near the shore
I could think of things I never thunk before
And then I'd sit, and think some more


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 could think of things I never thunk before
And then I'd sit, and think some more


MIDDLE BREAK    Basic - SSD Week 4

Sides face grand square
I'd unravel every riddle, for any individ'le
In trouble or in pain
With the thoughts I'd be thinkin' I could be another Lincoln
If I only had a brain
(Allemande and weave)
Oh, I would tell you why
The ocean's near the shore
I could think of things I never thunk before
And then I'd sit, and think some more


CLOSER    Basic - SSD Week 4

Sides face grand square
I would not be just a nuthin' my head all full of stuffin'
My heart all full of pain
I would dance and be merry, life would be a ding-a-derry
If I only had a brain
(Allemande and weave)
Oh, I would tell you why
The ocean's near the shore
I could think of things I never thunk before
And then I'd sit, and think some more


TAG

Sides face grand square
Gosh it would be awful pleasin' to reason out the reason
For things I can't explain
Then perhaps I'll deserve ya, and be even worthy of ya
If I only had a brain
