OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER    Basic

4 ladies chain 3/4 round that ring now
Turn her, roll away and swing the next
The 4 men star left, it's once around you go
In a star promenade, pick up that girl
Like an old hitchhiker, back out
Circle to the left around again
Left allemande that corner maid
Come back one and promenade
And we'll ride from here to there and back again

FIGURE    Basic - SSD Week 7, corner progression

Head ladies chain to the right, turn a brand new lady
Heads pass thru and then you separate
Around just one and line up 4, go forward up and back
Pass thru, wheel & deal, now the girls square thru 3
3/4 round, swing your corner there
*Left allemande, come back and promenade you know
*Where you're headed, I don't mind
I ain't been there in some time
And it's just exactly where I want to go


ALTERNATE LYRICS

*Left allemande, promenade around that bend
*I don't know what I might see
And I don't need no guarantee
Just a ride from here to there and back again


*Left allemande, promenade beyond that hill
*Some people say I'll settle down
Build a home in some small town
But in my heart I know I never will

We'll ride from here to there and back again
