two columns

OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER    Basic - SSD Week 1

Circle left
*On a warm summer's evening on a train bound to nowhere
I met a gambler, we were just too tired to sleep

Left allemande, walk back you dosado now
Left allemande then you weave around that ring
He said "Son, I've made a life out of reading people's faces"
Dosado and you'll all promenade
You never count your money sittin' at the table
There's time enough for countin' when the dealin's done


FIGURE    Mainstream, corner progression

Head couples promenade go half around that ring now
Side couples do the right & left thru and turn 'em there
Square thru and go 4 hands around you know now
Dosado and then do an eight chain 4
You gotta know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em
Swing your corner there, and then you'll promenade
You never count your money sittin' at the table
There's time enough for countin' when the dealin's done


ALTERNATE LYRICS

*Every gambler knows the secret to survival is
Knowing what the throw away and knowing what to keep
