OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER    Basic - SSD Week 1

4 ladies gonna promenade, one time in the middle I say
Back out, swing that man around now
Join up hands, circle now to the left, get walkin on around the ring
Do an allemande left, weave the ring
*Sittin' on the corner with the low down blues
A great big hole in the bottom of my shoes

Swing that girl, promenade her
**If I can't be your salty dog, I won't be your man at all
Honey, let me be your salty dog


ALTERNATE LYRICS

*Down in the briarwood sittin' on a log
Finger on the trigger and an eye on a hog


**I pulled the trigger and the gun let go
The shot fell over in Mexico


*Well it's hello gal and I know you
With a run in your stockin' and a worn out shoe


FIGURE    Basic, corner progression

Heads (sides) promenade an go halfway around and here we go
Down the middle and do the right & left thru now
Square thru in the middle of the ring and you get 4 hands and hear me sing
Then do the right & left thru you know
Roll the honey with a half sashay, box the gnat while you're that way
Swing that girl and promenade her
**If I can't be your salty dog, I won't be your man at all
Honey, let me be your salty dog
