OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER    Basic - SSD Week 4

Sides face, grand square
Pack up all my cares and woes, here I go singing low
Bye, bye blackbird
Where somebody waits for me, sugar's sweet, so is she
Bye, bye blackbird

Circle left
No one here can love and understand me
Allemande left on the corner, swing and promenade her
Make my bed and light the light
I'll be home late tonight, blackbird bye-bye


FIGURE    Basic, corner progression

Heads promenade and go
Halfway around the ring you go
Come down the middle and pass the ocean, extend
Swing thru and then, those boys run to the right
Couples circulate, move up and then, wheel & deal
Pass thru and trade by, and the corner lady swing
Swing that girl and promenade her
Make my bed and light the light
I'll arrive late tonight, blackbird bye-bye


OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER (ALTERNATE)    Basic - SSD Week 1

Circle left
Pack up all your cares and woes, here I go singing low
Bye, bye blackbird

Allemande left the corner girl
Turn your partner by the right you whirl
Men star left inside, turn your partner by the right
Corner allemande, swing your own and promenade
Make my bed and light the light
I'll arrive late tonight, blackbird bye-bye


TAG

Swing 'er good
Blackbird bye-bye
