OPENER Basic - SSD Week 3
Join hands and circle left that Riverboat's awaitin'
All aboard, it's time to go
Allemande left the corner girl, turn a right hand round your partner

Girls step out and backtrack, same one dosado and then you

Go straight across the river
Chain 'em back and watch 'em go
Put the ladies back to back, men go round the outside track
Get back home, dopaso

As up the river we go
I see that riverboat so
