OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER    C4, corner progression

Join hands and circle go walkin' round you go
4 ladies chain 3/4 round you go
Turn 'em there and roll away, you circle 8
Circle left now, go walkin' with your date
All 8 California twirl, cross trail to the corner go
Allemande that corner, promenade your own
Some guys can swing her on a dime or swing her right down town
But I need 40 acres to swing this gal of mine


FIGURE   

Heads a right & left thru (backaway), sides cross trail
Allemande that corner, right to the girl with a wagon wheel*
Men star left, the girls hook on, roll it round that town
Hub backs out a full turn, 4 ladies chain
Turn her there with a roll promenade, go walkin' round that ring
Men roll back, promenade that corner Jane
Some guys can roll their wagon down town on a dime
But I need 40 acres for this here gal of mine


*Wagon wheel: men turn girl right forearm full around, then spin girl in
forward direction (LOD) while men make left hand star and girls hook onto
man's right arm. Hub (centers) back out of star a full turn retaining
