Long Black Veil
Lefty Frizzell; many others 1959
  (Wagon Wheel 301)   Beryl Main
 
two columns

INTRO

Sometimes at night, when the cold winds moan
In a long black veil, she cries o'er his bones


FIGURE (Repeat 4 times)    Basic, corner progression

Head (side) ladies chain, go across that ring
Join hands, circle left, go walking round the ring
Allemande left, come back and dosado
Promenade, keep walking, round the ring you go
The heads wheel around, do a right & left thru
Make a right hand star, one time around will do
Heads star left in the middle & turn it one time around
To that same old two, dosado and then you swing
You swing this girl, and then left allemande
Come back and dosado, then promenade the land
*She walks these hills, in a long black veil
Where the night winds moan and wail


ALTERNATE LYRICS

*Nobody knows, nobody sees
Nobody knows, but me


CLOSER (ALTERNATE)    Basic, corner progression

Head (side) ladies chain, go across that ring
Join hands, circle left, go walking round the ring
Allemande left, come back and dosado
Promenade, keep walking, round the ring you go
The heads wheel around, do a right & left thru
Make a right hand star, one time around will do
Heads star left in the middle & turn it one time around
To that same old two, dosado and then you swing
You swing this girl, and then left allemande
Come back and dosado, then allemande left again
Promenade this girl, in a long black veil
Where the night winds moan and wail
