OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER Basic
Circle left
*In a little cabaret, in a south Texas border town
Sat a boy and his guitar and people came from all around
Walk around your corner, turn your partner left
Well the 4 little ladies chain, turn that girl and then
You do an allemande left new corner
Turn your partner by the right
4 ladies promenade halfway, swing the man tonight
And promenade
From here to Austin
To the little dark haired boy that played
Tennessee flat top box
FIGURE Mainstream, corner progression
Heads (sides) you're gonna square thru 4 hands you go
Get to the corner lady now, do a little dosado
Touch 1/4, scoot back and then
Single hinge, ladies trade, swing thru my friend
Well the boys run around a lady, tag the line tonight
Girls roll back and corner swing, swing the girl that's right
And promenade
From here to Austin
To the little dark haired boy that played
Tennessee flat top box
ALTERNATE LYRICS
*Well he couldn't ride or wrangle
And he never cared to have a dime
Give him his guitar and he'd be happy all the time
*Then one day he was gone, no one ever saw him round
He vanished like the breeze, they forgot him in that little town
