West Texas City (Of El Paso) Marty Robbins 1976 | (Thunderbird 156) Kip Garvey |
OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER Basic
Circle left
*From 30,000 feet above the desert floor I see it there below
Walk all around that corner girl, turn partner left and do a dopaso
Turn partner left halfway, slip the clutch
Left allemande and promenade her
(keep going, don't slow down)
A voice inside keeps telling me to go and see the city of El Paso
FIGURE Mainstream, R-H lady progression
Heads wheel around, square thru to the Rio Grande
Trade by, swing thru 2 by 2, spin the top the men move up
Go right & left thru
Slide thru, square thru 3,
swing that corner, promenade
(Keep moving, don't slow down)
I can't explain why I should know the very trail he rode
From El Paso
ALTERNATE LYRICS
*Somewhere in my deepest thought familiar scenes and memories unfold
*My mind is down there somewhere as I fly above the badlands of New Mexico
