OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER    Basic - SSD Week 4

Sides face, grand square
*He looked down into her brown eyes
Said, "Say a prayer for me"
She threw her arms around him
Whispered "God will keep us free"

Allemande and weave
**They could hear the riders coming
He said, "This is my last fight
If they take me back to Texas
They won't take me back alive!"


ALTERNATE LYRICS

*She reached down and picked the gun up
That lay smoking in his hand
Said, "Father, please forgive me...
I can't make it without my man!"

...
**She knew the gun was empty
She knew she could not win
But her final prayer was answered
When the rifles fired again


*There were seven Spanish angels
At the altar of the Sun
They were praying for the lovers
In the valley of the gun

...
**When the battle stopped and the smoke cleared
There was thunder from the throne
And seven Spanish angels
Took another angel home


FIGURE    Mainstream - SSD Week 12, corner progression

Heads (Sides) square thru, go 4 now
Dosado the corner there
Swing thru tonight, boy run right
Bend the line and then go right & left thru
Pass the ocean and now recycle
Swing the corner lady there and promenade
And seven Spanish angels
Took another angel home
