OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER Basic - SSD Week 4
Sides face, grand square
* Let me tell you a story 'bout a man named Charlie
On a tragic and fateful day
He put ten cents in his pocket
Kissed his wife and family
Went to ride on the MTA
Allemande left and weave
Oh he never returned, no he never returned
And his fate is still unlearned
He may ride forever, 'neath the streets of Boston
He's the man who never returned
ALTERNATE LYRICS
*Charlie handed in his dime at the Kendall square station
And he headed for Jamaica plane
When he got there the conductor told him one more nickel
Charlie couldn't get off of that train
*Charlie's wife goes down to the Scully Square station
Every day about a quarter past 2
And through the open window, she throws Charlie a sandwich
As the train goes rumbling through
FIGURE Basic, corner progression
Heads promenade halfway round you travel
Down the middle and square thru to four
Four hands around and then do the right & left thru
Veer left and ferris wheel you go
Come on and square thru three go moving along
Swing the corner girl and promenade
He may ride forever 'neath the streets of Boston
He's the man who never returned
