Ribbon Of Darkness
Gordon Lightfoot 1965
  (Corral 1004)   Don Jochum
 
two columns

OPENER - CLOSER    Basic - SSD Week 1

Circle left
Ribbon of darkness over me
Since my love walked out the door

Left allemande, dosado
Left allemande, weave the ring
Come on back and take me away
Swing your lady and promenade
Tears I've never had before
Ribbon of darkness over me


FIGURE    Mainstream, corner progression

Heads (sides) square thru go four
Then you make a right hand star
Heads (sides) star left and roll it around
Dosado the one you've found
Slide thru, square thru three
Swing that corner and promenade
It shrouds the night when day is done
Ribbon of darkness over me


MIDDLE BREAK    Basic - SSD Week 2

Four ladies chain across the ring now
Rollaway and circle left
Four ladies rollaway, circle
Left allemande, weave the ring
(Whistle or)
How I wish your heart could see
How mine just aches and breaks all day
Come on back and take me away
Ribbon of darkness over me


TAG

Tears I've never had before
Ribbon of darkness over me
