OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER    Mainstream

Join all your hands circle left you now
Reverse go single file
Girls backtrack go once around and then
Turn thru, left allemande why don't you weave that ring awhile
I'm gonna take a trip out to that Cherokee strip
Dosado and promenade that ring, oh
Straight as an arrow flies, we'll rise to paradise
My little chick-a-dee, my little Cherokee maiden and me


FIGURE    C4, corner progression

Head (side) couples square thru 4 hands you go
Curlique that corner maid
Split circulate my friend, scoot back out there and then
Do a walk & dodge and a partner trade and roll
Why now you turn thru and then you do a left allemande
Swing with your own and promenade, oh
Straight as an arrow flies, we'll rise to paradise
My little chick-a-dee, my little Cherokee maiden and me


TAG

(wait 8 tom tom beats, then repeat)
My little chick-a-dee, my little Cherokee maiden and me
