Help Me Make It Through The Night    (D 1086)   Buddy Weaver

OPENER



Circle left
Take the ribbon from your hair
Shake it loose and let it fall

Gents star right around the square
Allemande the corner, weave the hall
Come and lay down by my side till the early morning light
Promenade
All I'm taking is your time
So help me make it through the night

FIGURE



Heads square thru and round you go
Dosado the corner go
Touch 1/4 then scoot back
Walk & dodge, partner trade, box the gnat
Go right & left thru
Two ladies chain, keep the girl and promenade
All I'm taking is your time
So help me make it through the night

ALTERNATE MID AND 3RD FIGURE (128 beats)



4 ladies chain, half sashay and circle left
4 ladies roll away allemande left and weave the ring
Oh come and lay down by my side
Till the early morning light
All I'm taking is your time
Help me make it through the night

Sides face grand square



And I won't try to understand
Let the devil take tomorrow
For tonight I need a friend
Sides star thru, California twirl
Swing the corner promenade
All I'm taking is your time
So help me make it through the night

CLOSER



Sides face, grand square
Take the ribbons from your hair
Shake it loose and let it fall
Lay it soft against my skin
Like the shadows on the wall

Left allemande and weave the ring
Come and lay down by my side till the early morning light
Promenade
All I'm taking is your time
So help me make it through the night

TAG



All I'm taking is your time
So help me make it through the night
