OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER Basic - SSD Week 4
Sides face, grand square
*I've been down so long, down don't bother me
I've been down so long, down don't bother me
Heads face, grand square
**We sleep two in my bed, me and ole misery
I'm gonna dance all night, dance away these blues
FIGURE Basic, corner progression
Heads promenade half around you go, sides do the right & left thru (backaway)
Heads square thru 4 hands around
You do a dosado and make a wave
All 8 circulate double, go two times around
Now swing her twice and promenade her so nice
Dancing all night, dancing away these blues
ALTERNATE LYRICS
*Once I had a woman, but she couldn't stand being poor
Once I had a woman, she couldn't take the wolf at the door
**One day she met a rich man, I ain't seen my woman no more
I'm gonna dance all night, dance away these blues
*Don't know what to do now, don't know what to do now
Don't know what to do with these blues
**Square dancing blues all the way down to my shoes
