I'll Promise You Tomorrow (Hi Hat 492 ) Joe Johnston

OPENER

Sides face grand square
Give me time to weed the orchards of my life
I want to see the world that I can really see
When my ramblin' days are over, darlin' I'll be back
Givin' you the me that's really me
Four ladies chain across the ring now
You chain the ladies back and promenade
*Now and then I'll send a postcard, sayin' I'm okay
I'll promise you tomorrow, but don't ask me for today

FIGURE (twice for heads, twice for sides)

Head two you square thru, go four hands
Now with the sides you do a dosado
You swing thru and then, boys you run to the right
Wheel and deal and then go right & left thru
Well dive thru and square thru, go 3 hands
You swing the corner girl and promenade
*The shadow of your memory will never fade away
I'll promise you tomorrow, but don't ask me for today
ALTERNATE LYRICS
*Every signpost that I come to points the other way
I'll promise you tomorrow, but don't ask me for today

MIDDLE BREAK

Four ladies chain across the ring now
You roll away and circle to the left
Four ladies roll away, you circle left that way
Left allemande and weave the ring
I'm feeling kinda restless as wings upon my feet
You dosado and promenade when you meet
*Now and then I'll send a postcard sayin' I'm okay
I'll promise you tomorrow, but don't ask me for today
ALTERNATE FIGURE
Head two you square thru go four hands
Now with the sides you do a curlique, walk & dodge
Cast to the right 3/4, those boys trade and then
Wheel and deal and then go right & left thru
You flutterwheel you go full around and swing her
Left allemande come back and promenade
*Now and then I'll send a postcard sayin' I'm okay
I'll promise you tomorrow, but don't ask me for today
ENDING
Four ladies chain across the ring go
You chain the ladies back a do paso
Partner left, well the corner by the right and then
Partner left again, head ladies center T-cup chain & go
The sun is warm upon my face, the wind is at my back
I'm searching for the something that I lack
Now and then I'll send a postcard sayin' I'm okay
I'll promise you tomorrow, but don't ask me for today
