two columns

OPENER - CLOSER    Basic - SSD Week 4

Sides face, grand square
From this valley they say you are leaving
We will miss your blue eyes and bright smile
For they say you are taking the sunshine
That has brightened our lives for awhile

4 ladies promenade go once around now
Swing your girl and promenade
Just remember the Red River valley
And the poor boy who loves you so true


FIGURE    Mainstream, corner progression

Heads (sides) lead to the right and then you
Circle you make a line, go up & back, pass thru
Tag the line, all face in, touch 1/4
Boys run & do an eight chain 5
Come and sit by my side if you love me
Swing the next one, then you'll promenade
Just remember the Red River valley
And the poor boy who loves you so true


BREAK    Basic - SSD Week 1

4 ladies promenade go once around now
Get back home swing with your girl
Join hands circle left go walking round the ring
Left allemande the corner, weave the ring
Come and sit by my side if you love me
Swing your girl and promenade
Just remember the Red River valley
And the poor boy who loves you so true


TAG

And the poor boy who loves you so true
