OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER Basic
All 4 ladies chain across, turn 'em with a left hand round
Back right out and circle left, go walkin' round the town
Allemande left and allemande thar, go right & left and star
Allemande thar the men back in, you've got a back up star
Shoot that star, grand right & left now
And when you meet her, you promenade her
*For afar 'neath his star her brave is sleeping
While Red Wing's weeping her heart away
ALTERNATE LYRICS
*Oh, far beneath the stars her brave is sleeping
While Red Wing's weeping her heart away
FIGURE
Head (side) two couples cross trail, walk around just two
Hook on the end make a line of 4, go up and back with you
Pass thru, bend the line, forward back you reel
Pass thru, wheel & deal, 4 girls turn thru
You pull her by, left allemande now
Pass by your partner, promenade the next all the way
*For afar 'neath his star her brave is sleeping
While Red Wing's weeping her heart away
TAG
While Red Wing's weeping her heart away
(Bow to your partners all, stop right there, that's all)
in the figure, the phrase 'you pull her by' is part of cueing a turn thru.
