two columns

OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER    Basic

Join hands and make a ring, circle to the left and then
Reverse trail along in single file
All four ladies back track, turn her by the right when you meet like that
Allemande left and you weave that ring awhile
Kentucky gambler, who's gonna love your woman in Kentucky
Dosado, go once around then you promenade that ring
Kentucky gambler, who's gonna raise your children in Kentucky
Who's gonna keep them fed and keep them shoes on their feet


FIGURE    Basic, corner progression

1 & 3 (2 & 4) square thru count four hands you do
With the sides (heads) you make a right hand star
Heads (sides) star left in the middle turn it once around and then
To the same two you do the right & left thru
Swing thru, you go two by two, swing thru again
Swing that corner girl and promenade that ring
Kentucky gambler there ain't nobody waiting in Kentucky
You should know when you ran out somebody else walked in
