OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER    Basic, R-H lady progression

Circle left
If teardrops were pennies and heartaches were gold
I'd have all the riches my pockets would hold

Allemande left that corner, go forward two I sing
Turn back one and box the gnat, go weavin' round the ring
Wind in and out you go until you meet your maid
Dosado this girl and then you promenade
I'd be oh so wealthy with treasures untold
If teardrops were pennies and heartaches were gold


FIGURE    C4, corner progression

1 & 3 (2 & 4) square thru four hands you go
When you meet the corner girl curlique you know
Cast off 3/4 round, the girls trade and then
Do a right & left thru, turn the girl and flutter wheel my friend
Move it around you go and swing the corner maid
Left allemande, come back and then you promenade
This whole world would be mine to have and to hold
If teardrops were pennies and heartaches were gold


FIGURE (ALTERNATE)    Basic - SSD Week 6, corner progression

1 & 3 (2 & 4) square thru four hands around you do
When you meet your corner girl do a right & left thru
Turn the girl and flutter wheel, roll it around in time
Veer to the left and couples circulate and bend the line
Allemande left the corner, go weavin' round the ring
When you meet your partner, promenade I sing
This whole world would be mine to have and to hold
If teardrops were pennies and heartaches were gold

But teardrops aren't pennies and heartaches aren't gold
