OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER    C4

Docey your corner, then you see saw your taw
Gents star right, it's once around you go
Turn your partner left, go red hot you know
Turn the right-hand lady with a right hand round and go
One night when the moon was bright we sang an old love song
And I took her for my own

Promenade and sing
Straight as an arrow flies, we'll ride to paradise
My sweet little chick-a-dee, my little Cherokee maiden and me


FIGURE    Mainstream, no progression

Heads promenade halfway around
Down the middle and do a right & left thru
Slide thru and square thru three-quarters round
Do an allemande left and weave around the ring
Go in and out around until you meet your maid
Then you do a little dosado, take your corner, promenade
Straight as an arrow flies, we'll ride to paradise
My sweet little chick-a-dee, my little Cherokee maiden and me
