two columns

OPENER    Basic - SSD Week 1

Circle to the left
I never felt more like singing the blues
Cause I never thought that I'd ever lose

Left allemande that old corner
You're gonna weave that old ring (all the way around)
Why, dosado your girl
Men star by the left in the middle go one time round do a dosado
Promenade her home
You've got me singing the blues

FIGURE    Basic - SSD Week 7, corner progression

Hey now 4 ladies promenade go inside that ring
Come back and swing the partner round
Heads (sides) square thru 4 hands around
You go walking around
Split 2 and make a line
Go eight to the middle and back
Why, star thru with a partner whirl (California twirl)
Swing that girl, promenade the ring around now
You've got me singing the blues

MIDDLE BREAK    Basic - SSD Week 1

Circle left and then
I never felt more like crying all night
Cause everything's wrong and nothing is right

Left allemande that old corner
You're gonna weave that old ring (all the way around)
Why, dosado your girl
Men star by the left in the middle go one time round do a dosado
Promenade her home
You've got me singing the blues

FIGURE (ALTERNATE)    Basic, corner progression

Heads (sides) promenade 1/2 way round
Into the middle, square thru 4
Go all the way, right and left thru
Turn the little girl
Veer left, ferris wheel
Centers square thru 3
Swing corner and promenade my friend
You've got me singing the blues

CLOSER    Mainstream

Circle left
I never felt more like running away
But why should I go when I couldn't stay

Left allemande that old corner
Come back, dosado and let men star left
Get back home, turn thru and corner allemande
Come back, swing the little lady there and promenade the land
Promenade now
You've got me singing the blues

TAG

Aw, swing her man, yes sir!
You've got me singing the blues
