OPENER Basic - SSD Week 4
Sides face, grand square
*Sometimes I live in the country
Sometimes I live downtown
Sometimes I take a fool notion
To jump in the river and drown
Circle left
Irene goodnight
Left allemande and promenade her
Goodnight Irene, goodnight Irene
I'll see you in my dreams
ALTERNATE LYRICS
*Last Saturday night I got married
Me and my wife settled down
Now me and my wife have parted
Think I'll take another stroll downtown
*I love Irene, God knows I do
I'll love her till the day I die
And if Irene should ever leave
I think I'd hang down my head and cry
FIGURE Basic, corner progression
Head (side) couples promenade halfway
Walk into the middle and square thru four
Four hands around and then you'll do the right & left thru
Veer left and ferris wheel and go
Centers square thru three hands around now
Swing the corner girl and promenade
Goodnight Irene, goodnight Irene
I'll see you in my dreams
