Please Don't Talk About Me When I'm Gone
(Chaparral 704
)
Marshall Flippo
OPENER
Sides face, grand square
Please don't talk about me when I'm gone
Though our friendship ceases from now on
And if you can't say anything real nice
It's better not to talk at all is my advice
Circle left
We're parting, you go your way
I'll go mine, it's best that we do
Allemande left and swing your own
Promenade them two by two
It makes no difference how I carry on, oh baby
Please don't talk about me when I'm gone
FIGURE
Head two couples promenade halfway round you go
Come down the middle and do the right & left thru
Square thru four hands around I say
With the outside two make a right hand star halfway
Veer left, ferris wheel, now centers pass thru
Swing that corner round and round, promenade back home
It makes no difference how I carry on
Please don't talk about me when I'm gone
MIDDLE BREAK - ENDING
Now four little ladies promenade go walkin' round
You're gonna get along home and everybody swing
Why don't you join up hands and circle to the left
Left allemande that corner, weave the ring
We're parting, you go your way
I'll go mine, it's best that we do
Swing and whirl that pretty little girl and
Promenade back home you do
It makes no difference how we carry on
Please don't talk about me when I'm gone
