OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER Basic
Circle left
*I'll tell you 'bout my night on shore, if you will lend an ear
Walk around that corner, see saw your own sweet dear
Four men star by the right hand round, once inside I sing
Do an allemande left with the corner, weave around the ring
And she said whoa! sailor, careful what you do
Dosado around your own and promenade the set
**With a wolfish eye and a grin that's sly
A sailor's at his best
FIGURE Mainstream, corner progression
Now 1 & 3 (2 & 4) you promenade go halfway around the ring
2 & 4 (1 & 3) go right & left thru and turn there with that Jane
You square thru and get me four, four hands you go
Dosado with the corner lady, do an eight chain four
She said whoa! sailor, careful what you do
Swing and whirl with the corner girl and promenade the set
**With a wolfish eye and a grin that's sly
A sailor's at his best
ALTERNATE LYRICS
*Oh, pretty girl, oh, pretty girl, you've broken my poor heart
*I said I think I'll have a Coke, I pulled out six months' pay
**Well a sailor's full of that kind of bull
So don't hand it to me
**She's not all to blame, it's a sailor's aim
To have a girl in every port
