OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER Basic - SSD Week 2
Well 4 little ladies chain now 3/4 round the ring
Turn them boys, join up hands, circle to the left and then
4 ladies roll away, circle to the left you know
Do an allemande left with the corner girl, gonna weave around that ring
Go winding in and out until you meet a little girl you know
Dosado with the lady, step right up and you promenade
I've wined you and dined you till my money's all gone
The gold rush is over and the square dance is on
FIGURE Basic, corner progression
1 & 3 promenade go 1/2 around that ring
Come into the middle, right & left thru
You turn a little girl and then
Square thru 4 hands around, 4 hands and then
Dosado the outside two, go full around my friend
Swing thru, boys trade, swing on the corner there
Do an allemande left new corner girl, then promenade that square
I've wined you and dined you, now my money's all gone
Well, the gold rush is over and the square dance is on
