CLOSER Basic - SSD Week 1
4 little ladies promenade
Go once around that ring he said
You're gonna get back home & swing with your baby
Join hands make that ole ring
Circle left, go round I sing
Al emande left that corner, weave the ring now
So darlin' let it rain, let it snow
Let the cold north winds blow
Swing my girl and promenade her
North, south, east or west
You know I'l withstand the test
Just as long as you love me

Just as long as you love me
I Am A Simple Man
Cal ed By Fred Walker
MAR-500
OPENER
Sides face, grand square
I don't know why you want to start with me
I ain't done nothing far as I can see
And I'm worn out from working, honey
Why don't you give me a break
Allemande left and you weave
I know that lately things ain't been so good
Swing with your lady, promenade like you should
Cause I'm tired and I wanna sit down
To ease this old backache
FIGURE
Heads promenade halfway you do
Move into the middle, get a right & left thru
Square thru and take it four hands you know
Dosado and do an eight chain four
*I wanna job and a piece of land
Swing your corner, promenade round the land
**Don't seem so hard to me to understand...
I am a simple man
ALTERNATE LYRICS
*I wanna place where I can lay my head
**A little time off work before I'm dead...
I am a simple man
MIDDLE BREAK
Sides face, grand square
You say we've got some things to talk about
A lot of problems that we need to work out
But I've had enough fighting, sugar,
Why don't you give it a rest
Allemande left and you weave
I don't know what else I can say to you
Swing with your lady, promenade with her, too
Cause I can't give it anything more
When I'm giving my best
CLOSER
Circle left
You say you're havin' trouble figuring me
I don't believe I'm such a mystery
Left allemande, come home and dosado
Allemande left, you're gonna weave it and go
I wanna dance with you and hold your hand
Swing with your own and promenade round the land
Don't seem so hard for me to understand...
I am a simple man
TAG
Swing 'em
Don't seem so hard for me to understand...
I'm just a simple man
