OPENER - BREAK - CLOSER

4 ladies promenade go once around the ring
gonna get back home & swing there with your man
join hands circle left, gonna move it round the ring
left allemande the corner & you weave the ring
* sometimes you just can't be afraid to wear a different hat 
swing your girl around and promenade like that
** nothing ventured, nothing gained
     sometimes you've got to go against the grain 

* if columbus hadn't ventured out the world might still be flat 

* well noah took much ridicule for building his great ark 
     after 40 days and 40 nights he was looking pretty smart
     he was strong enough to fight the wind and rain 

FIGURE
