two columns

OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER    Basic, corner progression

Join 8 hands, circle left way down the valley
Move along, now the men star right around
To the corner allemande, then go forward two
Right and a left, now turn back 4
Count 'em off & you pull by the 4th one
Swing the next, and then you promenade
But remember the Red River Valley
And the girl that has loved you so true


FIGURE    Basic - SSD Week 8, corner progression

Now the head ladies chain and you turn 'em
Heads (sides) square thru & go 4 hands around
Swing thru the outside two & then the boys will run
Bend the line, go forward 8 and back
Star thru, pass thru, and swing the corner
Left allemande, come back and promenade
*For they say you are taking the sunshine
That brightens our pathway awhile


ALTERNATE LYRICS

*Oh, think of the fond heart you're breaking
And the grief you are causing me

Now bow to your own
