I Got It Honest
(GWR 175) Monte Guenzler
OPENER
Grand Square
It ain't nothing but a small framed house on an acre lot,
It ain't that much different than any other house on the block
Allemande Left and Weave the ring
And it may not look like we got all the share of the promise,
But at least one thing's for sure,
"I Got it Honest!"
FIGURE
Heads Square Thru count 'em 4 hands round
You make a Right Hand Star
The Heads Star Left, roll it one time and then
Same pair and do a Dosado
Swing Thru and then the Boys Trade
Swing the corner lady round and Promenade
That way I can always say,
"I Got it Honest!"
MIDDLE BREAK
Grand Square
I roll outta the sack every morning, Head on down to the mill.
Give them all I got for 8 cause that's the deal
Allemande Left and Weave the ring
If you check out my paycheck you see there ain't that much on it.
.But every single penny I'm paid
"I Got it Honest!"
CLOSER
Grand Square
I never had to hang my head in shame, for putting a price tag on my name.
Never turned my back on what I believe.
Allemande Left and Weave the ring
Cause brother if I didn't earn it, I don't want it.
That way I can always say
"I Got it Honest!"
TAG
Friend there ain't no doubt about it, "I Got it Honest!"
