Tiger By The Tail
Buck Owens 1964

two columns

OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER    Basic - SSD Week 4

Sides face grand square
I've got a tiger by the tail it's plain to see
There won't be much when you get through with me
I'm losing weight and turning mighty pale

Left allemande and weave around that ring
I've got a tiger by the tail it's plain to see
Swing a little girl and promenade
I'm lost as a leaf in a gale
And it looks like I've got a tiger by the tail


FIGURE    Basic - SSD Week 9, corner progression

Heads square thru and count to four
Swing thru and boys run right
Couples circulate, chain down the line
Pass the ocean, all eight circulate
Right & left grand the wrong way
Swing the 5th one and promenade
I'm lost as a leaf in a gale
And it looks like I've got a tiger by the tail
