M.T.A. The Kingston Trio (1959) 1948 | (Heartland Records 8) Kuniko Kawashima |
OPENER - CLOSER Basic - SSD Week 4
Sides face, grand square
Let me tell you of the story of a man named Charley
On a tragic and fateful day
He put ten cents in his pocket, kissed his wife and family
Went to ride on the M.T.A.
Allemande left and weave
Ever return? No, he never returned
Swing the lady, promenade (And his fate is still unlearned)
He may ride forever beneath the streets of Boston
He's the man who never returned
FIGURE Mainstream, corner progression
Heads (Sides) promenade travel halfway you round now
Walk in, pass the ocean, then extend
Slide thru, right & left thru, turn 1/4 more
Girls in the middle, girls trade, girls run left
Boys cross run, corner swing, swing the girls promenade
He may ride forever beneath the streets of Boston
He's the man who never returned
FIGURE Mainstream, corner progression
Heads (Sides) promenade you travel halfway round now
Walk in, pass the ocean, then extend
Spin the top, boys run right, wheel & deal
Right & left thru, full turn around, girls fold, swing!
Swing the girls, promenade
He may ride forever beneath the streets of Boston
He's the man who never returned
MIDDLE BREAK Basic - SSD Week 1
Four boys promenade one time round now
Get back home and swing, everybody swing
Join hands circle left, walking round now
Allemande left the corner, weave the ring
Well did he ever return? No, he never returned
Swing the lady, promenade (And his fate is still unlearned)
He may ride forever beneath the streets of Boston
He's the man who never returned
TAG
Swing
He's the man who never returned
