When He Sang Louisiana | (Riverboat 1478) Reneé Ruud |
OPENER Basic - SSD Week 1
Circle left
Righting your wrongs in too much wine
Don't do no use at all
Four boys star right go once around tonight
Allemande left and weave around the ring
'Cause they just keep track and they come bouncin' back
When you least expect them to
They were doing just that on the the night that we met
The night I was losing you
FIGURE Mainstream - SSD Week 11, corner progression
Heads (Sides) box the gnat, then slide thru
Swing thru, boys run
Ferris wheel, centers pass thru
Swing thru, boys trade
Swing corner promenade
You can't pour your problems into empty bottles
And throw 'em over a wall
MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER Basic - SSD Week 4
Sides face, grand square
*But when he sang 'Louisiana'
Oh, he just washed all my troubles away
There was something in his manner
That made me want him to stay - so I asked...
Allemande left and weave
**And I know in my life I've heard a lot of good music
And I reckoned I'd heard the best of 'em play
But when he sang 'Louisiana'
He just took all of my breath away
ALTERNATE LYRICS
*It could have been for me, that day
That there'd be nothing left at all
But it doesn't pay to be so short-sighted
Just turning your eyes
**And though there's no new face could ever take your place
It's something he wouldn't try
He just sang his songs and he tagged along
Until the pain got eased inside
TAG
And when he sang Louisiana
He just washed all my troubles away
