two columns

OPENER    Basic - SSD Week 4

Sides face grand square
Well, a Cherokee chief as he dances along
He does an Indian boogie to a white man's song
Singin' "Hey-ho-a-lina - Hey-ho-a-lina"

Four ladies all promenade and get you back
And swing with your man and promenade that land
Well "Hey-ho-a-lina - wup-wup a witten-a-yea"

FIGURE    Mainstream, corner progression

Heads (sides) square thru four hands and then
Meet your corner honey and you swing thru my friend
Spin your top, slide thru and touch 1/4
Walk & dodge, partner trade
Boy walk across, swing your corner and all promenade
Singin' "Hey-ho-a-lina - wup-wup a witten-a-yea"

MIDDLE BREAK    Basic - SSD Week 4

Sides face grand square
(Boogie - Hup, hup! 32 beats instrumental)
4 ladies promenade all around
You get back home and swing and promenade that ring
Singin' "Hey-ho-a-lina - wup-wup a witten-a-yea"

CLOSER    Basic - SSD Week 1

4 ladies all promenade once around that way
Get back and swing your man one time I say
Join your hands and circle left I sing
Allemande left and now you're gonna weave that ring
Singin' "Hey-ho-a-lina - wup-wup a witten-a-yea"
Swing and promenade that way
Singin' "Hey-ho-a-lina - wup-wup a witten-a-yea"

TAG

Allemande left and swing your girl
"Hey-ho-a-lina - wup-wup a witten-a-yea"
