Matamoras Billy Walker 1965 | (Riverboat 446) Dan Nordbye |
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.
