two columns

OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER    Basic

Circle left
* Beneath this snowy mantle cold and clean
The unborn grass lies waiting for it's coat to turn to green

Well you walk around your corner then do a dopaso
** It's partner left, corner right and partner left you know
Men star by the right around to the corner maid
Left allemande that lady, dosado and promenade
The one I love forever is untrue
And if I could you know that I would fly away with you


ALTERNATE LYRICS

* The breeze along the river seems to say
That you'll only break my heart again should I decide to stay


** And take the snow back with you where it came from long ago

FIGURE (1)   

Heads square thru four hands and go
Around the corner lady and do a dosado
Swing thru then boys trade
Boys run right and bend the line
Right & left thru tonight
Do a partner trade and 1/4 more
Swing and promenade around the floor
Snowbird take me with you when you go
To the land of gentle breezes where the peaceful waters flow


FIGURE (2)    Mainstream, corner progression

1 & 3 promenade 3/4 round you know
2 & 4 square thru count four hands and go
Then cloverleaf, new centers pass thru, slide thru,
Spin the top let it flow and then turn thru
Left allemande the corner go home with a dosado
Swing the corner lady and we'll all promeno
So little snowbird take me with you when you go
To that land of gentle breezes where the peaceful waters flow
