Ain't Got Time To Be Unhappy (K 1089) Gary Shoemake

OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER

Four ladies chain is what you do, 3/4 round is what you do
Chain the ladies once again, straight across the ring, my friend
Now join hands and make a big ring, circle to the left and hear me sing
Ladies center men sashay, circle to the left in the same old way
Allemande left with your left hand, the partner right in a right & left grand
In and out around you go, do a dosado and promeno
Well you ain't got time to be unhappy,
ain't got time to be unhappy
You've just got time to swing your pappy,
but you ain't got time to be unhappy

FIGURE

Head couples square thru 4 hands around you do
Dosado that corner, one time around will do
Swing thru without a stop, let's spin the top
Then do the right & left thru, and the same two ladies turn thru
Allemande with your left hand, dosado around your own
Take the corner, promenade, go walking with the pretty little maid
Well you ain't got time to be unhappy,
ain't got time to be unhappy
You've just got time to swing your pappy,
but you ain't got time to be unhappy

TAG

Now thank your maw and thank your pappy
