If You're Going Through Hell (GP 401)

If You're Going Through Hell (GP-401) Jerry Jestin

OPENER:
SIDES FACE GRAND SQUARE
WELL YOU KNOW THOSE TIMES WHEN YOU FEEL LIKE THERE'S A SIGN THERE ON YOUR BACK
SAYS I DON'T MIND IF YA KICK ME SEEMS LIKE EVERYBODY HAS
THINGS GO FROM BAD TO WORSE YOU'D THINK THEY CAN'T GET WORSE THAN THAT
AND THEN THEY DO
DO AN ALLEMANDE LEFT AND WEAVE THE RING
IF YOU'RE GOING THROUGH HELL
KEEP ON GOING, DON'T SLOW DOWN
IF YOU'RE SCARED, DON'T SHOW IT [OR. SWING AND PROMENADE]
YOU MIGHT GET OUT
BEFORE THE DEVIL EVEN KNOWS YOU'RE THERE

FIGURE:
HEADS (SIDES) PROMENADE AND YOU GO ABOUT HAVE WAY ROUND THE RING
LEAD TO THE RIGHT - VEER TO THE LEFT
AND THE COUPLES TRADE
YOU BEND THE LINE AND DO THE RIGHT AND LEFT THRU AND TURN YOUR GIRL
TOUCH ONE QUARTER ALL CIRCULATE AND THEN
BOYS RUN AROUND THAT GIRL AND A RIGHT AND LEFT THRU
TURN ‘ER AND A HALF SASHAY
SWING THAT CORNER GIRL AND PROMENADE THAT WAY
YOU MIGHT GET OUT
BEFORE THE DEVIL EVEN KNOWS YOU'RE THERE

TAG:
ALLEMANDE LEFT - SWING HER NOW
YOU MIGHT GET OUT
BEFORE THE DEVIL EVEN KNOWS YOU'RE THERE

ADDITIONAL LYRICS:
BREAK:
YOU STEP OFF THE STRAIGHT AND NARROW AND YOU DON'T KNOW WHERE YOU ARE
USE THE NEEDLE OF YOUR COMPASS TO SEW UP YOUR BROKEN HEART
ASK DIRECTIONS FROM A GENIE IN A BOTTLE OF JIM BEAM
AND SHE LIES TO YOU

CLOSER:
IF YOUR GOING THROUGH HELL KEEP ON GOING, DON'T SLOW DOWN
IF YOU'RE SCARED DON'T SHOW IT YOU MIGHT GET OUT
BEFORE THE DEVIL EVEN KNOWS YOU'RE THERE
DO AN ALLEMANDE LEFT AND WEAVE THE RING
YEAH, IF YOU'RE GOING THROUGH HELL KEEP ON MOVING, FACE THAT FIRE
WALK RIGHT THROUGH IT YOU MIGHT GET OUT
BEFORE THE DEVIL EVEN KNOWS YOUR THERE

Well you know those times
When you feel like there's a sign there on your back
Says I don't mind if ya kick me
Seems like everybody has
Things go from bad to worse
You'd think they can't get worse than that
And then they do

You step off the straight and narrow
And you don't know where you are
Use the needle of your compass
To sew up your broken heart
Ask directions from a genie
In a bottle of Jim Beam
And she lies to you
That's when you learn the truth

If you're going through hell
Keep on going, don't slow down
If you're scared, don't show it
You might get out
Before the devil even knows you're there

Well I been deep down in that darkness
I been down to my last match
Felt a hundred different demons
Breathing fire down my back
And I knew that if I stumbled
I'd fall right into the trap that they were laying, yeah

But the good news
Is there's angels everywhere out on the street
Holding out a hand to pull you back up on your feet
The one's that you've been dragging for so long
You're on your knees
You might as well be praying
Guess what I'm saying

If your going through hell
Keep on going, don't slow down
If you're scared don't show it
You might get out
Before the devil even knows you're there

Yeah, If you're going through hell
Keep on moving, face that fire
Walk right through it
You might get out
Before the devil even knows your there

If you're going through hell
Keep on going, don't slow down
If your scared don't show it
You might get out
Before the devil even knows your there

Yeah, If your going through hell
Keep on moving, face that fire
Walk right through it
You might get out
Before the devil even knows you're there
Yeah, you might get out
Before the devil even knows your there.
