OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER    Basic

4 ladies promenade go walking round the ring
Gonna come on in and swing and whirl your girl
Well you're gonna join hands and circle left, go walking round a while
Do an allemande left the corner, weave the ring
I'll be gone in the morning, in the morning I'll be gone
Swing your lady round and promenade
Well please don't think, baby, you've done something wrong
In the morning when you wake and find me gone

FIGURE    Mainstream, corner progression

Heads (sides) square thru in the middle go 4 hands round
To the corner girl and do a dosado
Well touch 1/4, scoot back, go moving round tonight
Boy run right and do a right & left thru
Girls lead dixie style to a wave, let the boys cross fold
Swing your corner girl and promenade
Well please don't think, darling, you've done something wrong
In the morning when you wake and find me gone

TAG

Well please don't think, darling, you've done something wrong
In the morning when you wake and find me gone

I watch as you take off your clothes and slip under the sheets
Then I turn and kick the boots off my feet
I pull you close without a word 'cause there's no need to speak
Girl, beauty like yours is hard to beat

But I'll be gone in the morning, in the morning I'll be gone
'Cause I'm not one for hanging on
Please don't think that you done something wrong
In the morning when you wake and find me gone

Just a look from those fiery eyes can all but erase
The memory of any other's face
And the passion they unleash could cause me to misplace
And lose all track of time without a trace

But I'll be gone in the morning, in the morning I'll be gone
'Cause I'm not one for hanging on
Please don't think that you done something wrong
In the morning when you wake and find me gone

The sun intrudes and throws across the room its golden tracks
Shake the dreams, now it's back to facts
As I turn to leave I know you had what so many lack
Maybe some day that'll bring me back

But I'll be gone in the morning, in the morning I'll be gone
'Cause I'm not one for hanging on
Please don't think, girl, you done something wrong
In the morning when you wake and find me gone

But I'll be gone in the morning, in the morning I'll be gone
'Cause I'm not one for hanging on
Please don't think that you done something wrong
In the morning when you wake and find me gone
In the morning when you wake and find me gone
