OPENER Basic - SSD Week 11
Circle left
Out in the west Texas town of El Paso
I fell in love with a Mexican girl
Men, you star right to Rosa's cantina
Left allemande, come home, box the gnat
4 ladies promenade inside that old ring
Back home and swing and promenade I sing
My love was deep for this Mexican maiden
I was in love but in vain I could tell
FIGURE Basic - SSD Week 10, corner progression
Head (side) two will square thru 4 hands to El Paso
And with the sides go right & left thru
Veer left and couples circulate, move up in time
Chain down the line and you're doing fine
Star thru, pass thru, trade by and swing
Promenade your corner around that old ring
My love was deep for this Mexican maiden
I was in love but in vain I could tell
MIDDLE BREAK Basic - SSD Week 11
Circle left
Night time would find me in Rosa's cantina
Music would play and Felina would whirl
Men, you star right to Rosa's cantina
Left allemande, come home, box the gnat
4 ladies promenade inside that old ring
Back home and swing and promenade I sing
My love was deep for this Mexican maiden
I was in love but in vain I could tell
CLOSER Basic - SSD Week 11
Circle left
Blacker that night were the eyes of Felina
Wicked and evil while casting a spell
Men, you star right to Rosa's cantina
Left allemande, come home, box the gnat
4 ladies promenade inside that old ring
Back home and swing and promenade I sing
Great are the two loving arms that I'd die for
One little kiss and Felina goodbye
