Give Me Back My Blues Jerry Reed 1978 | (D & R 145) Ron Russell |
OPENER Basic
Circle left
*Well way down here in Southern West Virginia
Lived a girl they call Emma Jean
Why don't you walk around the corner girl and see saw your own
Left allemande and weave the ring
**Now Emma Jean told me you're gonna be my husband
Dosado and promenade
***Well I say hello good times, so long ramblin'
Bye-bye to down and out blues
FIGURE Basic, corner progression
1 & 3 (2 & 4) you rollaway, star thru I say
With the outside two make a right hand star
Heads (sides) star left in the middle you go, once around you know
Same two square thru 3 hands
Trade by, step to an ocean wave
Swing thru, the boys trade, swing old corner, promenade
I say hello good times, so long ramblin'
Bye-bye to down and out blues
FIGURE (ALTERNATE) C4, corner progression
1 & 3 (2 & 4) you lead to the right circle up four (to a line) there tonight
Without a stop do a right & left thru
Curlique my friend, two steps at a time and then
Do a double pass thru, first two left the next two right
Star thru, pass thru, swing a little corner girl
Left allemande and promenade
I say hello good times, so long ramblin'
Bye-bye to down and out blues
ALTERNATE LYRICS
*Mamma she told me don't marry for money
She may just act like a queen
**Well buddy, I know - don't you marry for dough
***Well I tell you son, if you marry for mon'
You're gonna earn every penny
*Now breakfast in bed ain't bad for your head
If you're lying around just having a snack
**Well buddy, I know - don't you marry for dough
***Well, I'm gonna run, being rich ain't no fun
Hey judge won't you give back, judge won't you give me back...
