Across The Alley From The Alamo

two columns

OPENER - CLOSER    Basic - SSD Week 1

Circle left
Across the alley from the alamo lived a pinto pony and a Navajo
They cooked frijoles in a cornbread dough for the people passin' by

Men star right and then, once around that ring my friend
Left allemande and now, weave around that ring
One day they went walkin' along the railroad track
Swing your lady, promenade like that
Across the alley from the alamo when the evening sun settles low
The Indian hollers "hi de ho" to the people passin' by


FIGURE    Mainstream, corner progression

Head 2 you promenade, halfway there with that maid
Side pair go right & left thru, turn the girl and then
Square thru 4 hands you know, rollin' around the ring you go
Dosado that corner Joe, then do an eight chain 4
One day they went walkin' along the railroad track
Swing your corner, promenade like that
Across the alley from the alamo when the evening sun settles low
The Indian holler "hi de ho" to the people passin' by


MIDDLE BREAK    Basic - SSD Week 1

4 ladies promenade, walkin' round inside that ring
Come back and swing your man, once around and then
Join hands and make a ring, circle left like everything
Left allemande and now, weave around that ring
One day they went walkin' along the railroad track
Swing your lady, promenade like that
Across the alley from the alamo when the evening sun settles low
The Indian holler "hi de ho" to the people passin' by
