OPENER    Basic - SSD Week 1

Four ladies promenade one time inside now
Back home swing your girl around
Why don't you join hands circle to the left go round now
Left allemande gonna weave the ring
She made the young men scream and the old men moan
Swing that girl and promenade
Play Ruby, play, we love the way you get into it

FIGURE (twice for heads, twice for sides)    Mainstream, corner progression

Why let the heads square thru & go to four hands around
Meet the sides, make a right hand star
The heads star by the left in the middle, one time around you go
Right & left thru and turn your girl
*Swing thru tonight, boys run right
Do a half tag, swing the corner, promenade
Ah, Ruby was a sight to behold, when she was on the road

FIGURE (ALTERNATE)   

*Touch 1/4 there, split circulate double
Swing that corner, promenade around

MIDDLE BREAK    Basic - SSD Week 4

Sides face, grand square
She had a local band, played the local bars
Had the local boys breathin' hard
She had hillbilly eyes that could shine in the dark
She had a country soul and a rock and roll heart

Four ladies promenade round now
Swing your girl and promenade the ring
She made the young men scream and the old men moan
Rock on, rock on, rock on...


CLOSER    Basic - SSD Week 1

Why let those four ladies chain across the ring go
You turn that girl and chain 'em right back home
You join up hands, circle left a go round
Left allemande gonna weave the ring and say
Play Ruby, play, we love the way you get into it
You made the young men scream and the old men moan
Rock on, rock on, rock on...

Rock on, rock on, rock on...play Ruby, play
