The Race Is On
George Jones 1962

two columns

OPENER    Basic - SSD Week 1

Circle left
I feel tears welling up cold and deep inside
Like my heart's going to break

Left allemande the corner, you're gonna dosado
The men star left that way
Well you turn old partner by the right hand around
Left allemande, come back and promenade
The race is on and it looks like heartaches
And the winner loses all


FIGURE    C4, corner progression

Well the head 2 couples lead to the right and circle to a line
You dance right up to the middle and back in time
Curlique, coordinate, you walk right out and then
Bend that line and do the right & left thru
Hey now you slide thru, swing thru, boys trade
Swing that corner lady, promenade
The race is on and it looks like heartaches
And the winner loses all


MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER    Basic - SSD Week 4

Sides face, grand square
(32 beats)
Well now the 4 little ladies chain across
Chain 'em back and you roll promenade
The race is on and it looks like heartaches
And the winner loses all
