Circle left Take the ribbon from your hair Shake it loose and let it fall Gents star right around the square Allemande the corner, weave the hall Come and lay down by my side till the early morning light Promenade All I'm taking is your time So help me make it through the night
FIGURE Mainstream, corner progression
Heads square thru and round you go Dosado the corner go Touch 1/4 then scoot back Walk & dodge, partner trade, box the gnat Go right & left thru Two ladies chain, keep the girl and promenade All I'm taking is your time So help me make it through the night
FIGURE (ALTERNATE) (128 beats) Basic, no progression
4 ladies chain, half sashay and circle left 4 ladies roll away allemande left and weave the ring Oh come and lay down by my side Till the early morning light All I'm taking is your time Help me make it through the night
MIDDLE BREAK Mainstream, corner progression
Sides face grand square I don't care who's right or wrong And I won't try to understand Let the devil take tomorrow For tonight I need a friend Sides star thru, California twirl Swing the corner promenade All I'm taking is your time So help me make it through the night
CLOSER Mainstream
Sides face, grand square Take the ribbons from your hair Shake it loose and let it fall Lay it soft against my skin Like the shadows on the wall Left allemande and weave the ring Come and lay down by my side till the early morning light Promenade All I'm taking is your time So help me make it through the night
TAG
All I'm taking is your time So help me make it through the night
