Nobody Knows Ya Bessie Smith; Jimmy Witherspoon; others 1923 | (Windsor 4852) Bruce Johnson |
OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK C4
Join hands and circle left around that ole ring
Turn the corner under, bow and you swing
The men star left once around this land
Box the gnat, change hands, left allemande
Grand right and left round the ring you will go
Meet your lovin' baby, back to back dosado
Promenade her home to the message I shout
Nobody knows ya when you're down and out
FIGURE Basic - SSD Week 8, corner progression
Heads promenade, but only go halfway
Square thru 4 hands and don't delay
You face the nearest side and do the right & left thru
Dive thru and circle 4, one time'll do, and when you're straight
Pass thru, swing thru the couple there
Boys trade and then promenade round the square
Ya know it's mighty strange but without any doubt
Nobody knows ya when you're down and out
TAG
Swing her there, that's it you're through
SEQUENCE (Opener, figure twice for heads, break, figure twice for sides, tag)
