Born To Be Blue (LBR 105) Richie Burkhart

OPENER

Sides face, grand square
They say everybody's got a someone
A sweet somebody to love
It might be fate or destiny
Maybe written in the stars above
Allemande and weave
I can't help but wonder
After all that we've been through
Maybe my baby's nowhere to be found
And I was just born to be blue

ALTERNATE LYRICS

Was I born to be unhappy just to live on Heartache Street
Was I born to go to bed each night cryin' myself to
Allemande and weave
Can somebody out there help me, give me some kind of clue
Tell me I'm wrong...tell me I'm right...
But don't tell me I was born to be blue

They say nobody dies from a heartache

But who wants to live in this world alone
When minutes turn into years

FIGURE

Heads promenade, go halfway 'round the ring
Walk in, pass the ocean, extend your tag
Swing thru, boys run, couples circulate
Ferris wheel, zoom
New centers square thru go three
Swing the corner, promenade
(instrumental)

TAG

Circle left
(musical interlude)
You're home
