Texas Fiddle Song
Merle Haggard 1981
  (Hi Hat 5051)   Tom Perry
 
two columns

OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER    Plus

Why the 4 little ladies chain across
You turn that lady, then chain the lady right back home
A dopaso my friend
Turn her by the left & corner by the right
And a left hand round sweetheart
Head ladies to the center, tea cup chain to the tune called
Old Joe Clark


FIGURE    Mainstream, corner progression

Heads (sides) you promenade 1/2 way around the ring
Come down the middle with a right & left thru
And turn a little girl again
You star thru & square thru 3/4 round you go
Dosado with the corner lady once around you know
Hey, swing thru 2 by 2 and the boys trade and then
Turn thru, you do an allemande left & promenade my friend
If you're ever down in Texas
Every evening after dark
You can hear that fiddle play a tune called
Old Joe Clark
