OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER Mainstream
Allemande left the ladies star, the gentlemen promenade
Allemande left the gentlemen star, the ladies promenade
Allemande left the corner, gonna dosado your own
Gents star left in the middle once around you roam
Meet your partner, turn thru, allemande corners all
Come back one, promenade, go walkin' around that hall
Big Chief Buffalo Nickel, a mighty man was he
He loved a squaw, everyone he saw had a new one every day
FIGURE C4, corner progression
1 & 3 promenade just halfway round that ring
Lead to the right and circle to a two-faced line I sing
Wheel & deal to face those two, then sweep 1/4 more
Ladies chain straight across and then you flutter wheel
Slide thru, pass thru, swing that corner Sue
Promenade this lady, go walking two by two
Big Chief Buffalo Nickel, a mighty man in his day
He loved a squaw, everyone he saw had a new one every day
FIGURE (ALTERNATE)
1 & 3 square thru count 4 hands for me
Make a right hand star with the side two, roll it once around
Heads to the middle with a left hand star, round to that same old two
Do the right & left thru and turn your pretty Sue
You dive thru, square thru 3/4 round for me
You swing that corner lady, promenade go two by two
Big Chief Buffalo Nickel, a mighty man was he
He loved a squaw, everyone he saw had a new one every day
