Matamoras
Billy Walker 1965

two columns

OPENER    Basic - SSD Week 4

Sides face, grand square
*In old Mexico I stand on the square in Matamoras
Around the plaza the couples are dancing to the music so sweet

Allemande left and you weave the ring
**I found love not long ago, down in Matamoras
With eyes black as midnight she made my heart skip a beat


ALTERNATE LYRICS

*Across the square with that wild vaquero I see her
Laughing and dancing and tossing her raven-black hair


**Fate may take a hand when I face this man in Matamoras
But the love of my woman is the one thing that I'll never share


*I can still feel the strains of the haunting refrains of Granada
She once called it our song and vowed she'd be mine forever more


**Now I walk in the night far away from the lights of Matamoras
Now she wonders what happened, 'cause I never returned anymore


FIGURE    Plus, corner progression

Heads lead to the right, veer to the left
Bend the line, do a right & left thru
Touch 1/4 now, coordinate and then
All those couples circulate
Bend the line, go right & left thru
Turn the girl and then you slide thru
Swing and promenade her
With eyes black as midnight she made my heart skip a beat

TAG

Now she wonders what happened, 'cause I never returned anymore

Same music as Red Boot 158.
