one column

OPENER

Circle left
Ain't got no change for a nickel
Ain't got no bounce in my shoes

Men star right, one time tonight
Allemande that corner, weave the ring
Ain't got no coffee, brewing
You swing your girl around and promenade
Don't have a dream that is working no more
I ain't got nothing but the blues


FIGURE

Heads promenade, go halfway
Walk in and square thru it's four
All the way, do a dosado
One time and then swing thru
Boys you run right, couples circulate one time
Chain down the line, keep that girl and promenade
Ain't got no telephone number no more
I ain't got nothing but the blues


MIDDLE BREAK

Circle left
The band is swinging, the folks are singing
I just can't let my hair down

Men star right, one time tonight
Allemande that corner, weave the ring
Ain't got no rest in my sleep, y'all
Don't have no winnings to lose
Ain't got no telephone number no more
I ain't got nothing but the blues


ALTERNATE FIGURE

Heads promenade go halfway
Walk in and square thru it's 4 all the way
Pass thru, trade by
Slide thru, load the boat (Ain't got no coffee brewing)
Slide thru & roll
Swing the corner, promenade
Ain't got no telephone number no more
I ain't got nothin' but the blues


CLOSER

Circle left
The band is stomping, man, they're really romping
I'm sitting' all by myself

Men star right, one time tonight
Allemande that corner, weave the ring
Ain't got no cash in my pocket
Ain't got my name in who's who
So broke I can't pay attention no more
I ain't got nothin, I ain't got nothin


TAG

I ain't got nothin but the blues
