two columns

OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER    Basic - SSD Week 1

Circle left
*I left out of Tucson with no destination in mind
Men star by the right, one time around tonight
Allemande left and weave
The border meant freedom, a new life, and romance
That's why I thought I should go
And start my life over on the seashores of old Mexico


ALTERNATE LYRICS

*Two Mexican farmers en route to a town I can't say

*She spoke of Sonora and swore that she'd never return

FIGURE (Swinging the Right-hand lady, not the Corner)    Mainstream - SSD Week 12, R-H lady progression

Heads do a right & left thru
Turn the girl and square thru go 4
And when you're done, swing thru double, recycle
You veer to the left and tag your line all the way through
Girls turn back, swing the girl and promenade
Things'll blow over on the seashores of old Mexico

TAG

Heads face grand square
Yeah, she loved this gringo, my brown hair and lingo
That's all I needed to know
I found what I needed on the seashores of old Mexico


OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER (ALTERNATE)   

(If you wish to use Grand Square or Teacup Chain instead of Circle Left:)

*I left out of Tucson with no destination in mind
I was runnin' from trouble and the jail term the judge had in mind


*Two Mexican farmers en route to a town I can't say
Let me ride on the back of a flatbed half loaded with hay


*She spoke of Sonora and swore that she'd never return
Of her Mexican husband she really had no great concern
