I've Got A Tiger By The Tail

two columns

OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER    Basic - SSD Week 11

You allemande the corner, at home you box the gnat
You pull her by and then that corner swing
Join your hands and circle to the left around that town
Roll away then weave around that ring
It's in and out you go, meet a girl and dosado
Left allemande, come back and you promenade
I'm as lost as a leaf in a gale
And it looks like I got a tiger by the tail


FIGURE    Basic, corner progression

Head 2 ladies chain, you turn the girls and then
Same 2 go up and back, a 1/2 square thru
Dosado, make an ocean wave, you rock up and back
You swing thru and you go along that track, rock up and back
Box the gnat, pull by and swing
You promenade you go walking around the ring
I'm as lost as a leaf in a gale
And it looks like I got a tiger by the tail

April, 1965.
