Matamoras Billy Walker 1965 | (Red Boot 158) Ralph Silvius |
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 music so sweet
Circle left you know
I found love not too long ago in Matamoras
Left allemande and promenade
With eyes black as midnight she made my heart skip a beat
Well now the
FIGURE (1) Mainstream, R-H lady progression
Heads promenade 1/2 way round the ring
Lead right and circle to a line
Walk up to the middle and back
Star thru and now dosado then do a spin chain thru
Girls circulate twice, find someone nice
Swing that corner and we'll all promenade
With her raving black hair she made a slave out of me
FIGURE (2) Mainstream, R-H lady progression
Heads promenade 1/2 way round the ring
Lead right and circle to a line
Walk up to the middle and back
Star thru and now dosado then do a spin chain thru
Girls circulate twice, find someone nice
Swing that corner and we'll all promenade
How could I know just how fickle her promise would be
MIDDLE BREAK Basic - SSD Week 4
Sides face, grand square
Across the square with that wild vaquero I see her
Laughing & dancing & tossing her raving black hair
Circle left you know
Fate may take a hand when I face this man in Matamoras
Left allemande and promenade
But the love of my woman
Is the one thing that I'll never share
FIGURE (3) Mainstream, R-H lady progression
Sides promenade 1/2 way round the ring
Lead right and circle to a line
Walk up to the middle and back
Star thru and now dosado then do a spin chain thru
Girls circulate twice, find someone nice
Swing that corner and we'll all promenade
There's gonna be big trouble
Cause I caught her cheating on me
FIGURE (4) Mainstream, R-H lady progression
Sides promenade 1/2 way round the ring
Lead right and circle to a line
Walk up to the middle and back
Star thru and now dosado then do a spin chain thru
Girls circulate twice, find someone nice
Swing that corner and we'll all promenade
No, I'm feeling low as the beggar
That sits in the street
CLOSER Basic - SSD Week 4
Sides face, grand square
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
Circle left you know
Now I walk in the night
Far away from the lights of Matamoras
Left allemande and promenade
Now she wonders what happened
Cause I never returned anymore
TAG
Now she wonders what happened
Cause I never returned anymore
Swing that corner and we'll all promenade
Cause I caught her cheating on me
