two columns

OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER    Basic - SSD Week 1

Circle left
*I am calling from the station
And I haven't got much time to let you know

You allemande left your corner, you dosado your own
The men star left, turn the partner by the right
The corner allemande, swing your own and promenade go round
**There's a factory in Columbus hiring now I understand
And they are looking for an able bodied man


FIGURE    Mainstream, corner progression

1 & 3 (2 & 4) you promenade go half around that ring
Down the middle, pass thru, partner trade and then
Square thru in the middle 4 hands around you go
Dosado that corner, it's full around you know
Swing thru, boys trade, turn thru and then
Left allemande new corner, promenade
They may not hire me in Columbus, but I'm pretty sure they will
Cause they are looking for an able bodied man


ALTERNATE LYRICS

*But when I wrote the letter saying you could come to me
I didn't know


*If I'd had more education I'd made a better life for me and you

**I'll be sending you a ticket cause I think I'll get the job
If they're looking for an able bodied man


TAG

And remember I'm your able bodied man
