I Am A Simple Man (MAR 801) Fred Walker

OPENER

Sides face, grand square
I don't know why you want to start with me
I ain't done nothing far as I can see
And I'm worn out from working, honey
Why don't you give me a break
Allemande left and you weave
I know that lately things ain't been so good
Swing with your lady, promenade like you should
Cause I'm tired and I wanna sit down
To ease this old backache

FIGURE

Heads promenade halfway you do
Move into the middle, get a right & left thru
Square thru and take it four hands you know
Dosado and do an eight chain four
I wanna job and a piece of land
Swing your corner, promenade round the land
Don't seem so hard to me to understand...
I am a simple man

I wanna place where I can lay my head

A little time off work before I'm dead...
I am a simple man

MIDDLE BREAK

Sides face, grand square
You say we've got some things to talk about
A lot of problems that we need to work out
But I've had enough fighting, sugar,
Why don't you give it a rest
Allemande left and you weave
I don't know what else I can say to you
Swing with your lady, promenade with her, too
Cause I can't give it anything more
When I'm giving my best
