OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER Basic - SSD Week 4
Sides face grand square
*The red headed stranger from Blue Rock, Montana
Rode into town one day
And under his knees was a raging black stallion
And loping behind was the bay
Circle left
Don't cross him, don't boss him, he's wild in sorrow
Allemande left, swing and promenade
Don't fight him, don't slight him, just wait till tomorrow
And maybe he'll ride on again
ALTERNATE LYRICS
*A yellow haired woman leaned out of her window
Watched as he passed her way
She drew back in fear at the sight of the stallion
And then cast greedy eyes on the bay
*But how could she know that the dancing bay pony
Meant more to him than life
For that was the horse that his little lost darling
Had ridden when she was his wife
FIGURE Basic, corner progression
Heads promenade go half way round the ring
Down the middle, pass the ocean there, extend
Swing thru and then the boys run to the right
You bend the line, and do the right & left thru
Flutter wheel and when you are through, star thru and swing
Swing the corner lady, promenade
Don't fight him, don't slight him, just wait till tomorrow
And maybe he'll ride on again
