two columns

OPENER    Basic

Circle left
I was standing on the corner
Watching two men gamble in the dark

Walk around your corner, see saw your own
Left allemande and you weave that ring
It was Stagger Lee and Billy
Swing that girl, promenade
Stagger Lee and Billy
Two men that gambled late


FIGURE    Mainstream, corner progression

Heads promenade go halfway round
Come down the middle and square thru 4
Four hands around and a right & left thru
Pass thru, trade by, touch 1/4 too
Scoot back boys, scoot back girls
Swing that girl, promenade on home
Stagger Lee threw a seven
Billy swore he threw an eight


MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER    Basic - SSD Week 1

Four ladies promenade inside
Get home and give that man a swing
Join hands and circle to the left around and then
Left allemande and weave
Stagger Lee and Billy
Swing that girl, promenade on home
Stagger Lee and Billy
Two men who gambled late


TAG

Swing her, guys
