Just Take The Gamble And Play The Game
(TB 209)
Bob Bennett
OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER
Head ladies chain to the right
Turn the girl, don't take all night
New side ladies chain across, turn the girl and then
Now sides face and grand square 8 steps my friend
Left allemande and weave the ring
*If you don't mind, it doesn't matter
Dosado her, then promenade
If it's love now, that you're after
Just take the gamble and play the game
FIGURE
Heads promenade go halfway round the ring
Come down the middle, square thru 4 hands
4 hands and then, swing thru my friend, boys run
Girls hing and diamond circulate, flip the diamond there
**Swing thru and then, girls turn back and promenade the ring
I shouldn't care, but I can't help it
Just take the gamble and play the game
ALTERNATE LYRICS
*Life without love, it's mighty empty
Dosado her, then promenade
I'd rather have love that I can cling to
Just take the gamble and play the game
ALTERNATE FIGURE
**Boys cross fold, swing your lady and promenade
TAG
Swing twice
So take the gamble and play the game
