If You're Gonna Play In Texas (You Gotta Have A Fiddle In The Band)
Alabama 1984
  (Lamon 10113)   Bill Wentz
 
two columns

OPENER    Basic

Circle left
If you're gonna play in Texas
You gotta have a fiddle in the band
That lead guitar is hot, not for a Louisiana Man

Walk around your corner, see saw around your own
Left allemande and weave around the ring
If you're gonna play in Texas, you gotta have a fiddle in the band
Dosado around your own and promenade the land
So rosin up your bow for Faded Love and let's all dance
If you're gonna play in Texas, you gotta have a fiddle in the band


FIGURE    Mainstream, corner progression

Heads (sides) promenade half way around the square
Come down the middle, touch 1/4 and walk & dodge from there
Swing thru, boys run to the right, bend the line
Move up and back, and do a right and left thru
Slide thru, square thru 3/4, swing your corner and promenade
So rosin up your bow for Faded Love and let's all dance
If you're gonna play in Texas, you gotta have a fiddle in the band


MIDDLE BREAK    Basic - SSD Week 4

Sides face grand square
(32 beat musical interlude)
Four ladies promenade once inside the ring
Swing and promenade
Rosin up your bow for Faded Love and let's all dance
If you're gonna play in Texas, you gotta have a fiddle in the band


CLOSER    C4

Sides face grand spin (or grand parade)
So we dusted off our boots and put our square dance ties on straight
The dancers raised the roof as Dwight opened up his case
You said you wanted to square dance, you wanted to dosado
So here's a fiddling song before we go
