two columns

OPENER    Basic - SSD Week 1

Circle left
Everytime it rains Lord I run to my window
Men star right & turn it one time around you go
Left allemande, weave the ring
Wolves a scratching at my door oh Lord
Well, swing your lady, promenade on home
And tell me baby why you've been gone so long

FIGURE    Plus, corner progression

Well now those heads (sides) promenade & go 1/2 way around
Come down the middle, right & left thru go home
Square thru & go 4 hands around you know, dosado
Touch 1/4, then follow your neighbor, go
Slip the clutch, left allemande, promenade home
And tell me baby why you've been gone so long

MIDDLE BREAK    Basic - SSD Week 1

Circle left
Can't you hear that thunder roar and
Don't you hear that lonesome wind moan

Men star right & turn it one time around you go
Left allemande, weave the ring
Wolves a scratching at my door oh Lord
Well, swing your lady, promenade on home
And tell me baby why you've been gone so long

CLOSER    Basic - SSD Week 1

Circle left
Tell me baby why you've been gone so long
You been gone so long now

Men star right & turn it one time around you go
Left allemande, weave the ring
Wolves a scratching at my door oh Lord
Well, swing your lady, promenade on home
And tell me baby why you've been gone so long

TAG

Swing 'em boys
Well, tell me baby
Why you've been gone so long
