Opener/Break/Closer: (Sides Face Grand Square)
* In a little cabaret in a south Texas border town
Sat a boy and his guitar and the people came from all around
And all the girls from there to Austin
Were slippin' away from home and putting jewelry in hock
4 ladies chain, you turn the girl now.
Well chain the ladies right back home and promenade that ring
And he would play...
Alternate Lyrics:
Break:
*Well he couldn't ride or wrangle and he never cared to make a dime
But give him his guitar and he'd be happy all the time
And all the girls from 9 to 90
Were snappin' fingers, tappin' toes and beggin' him don't stop
Closer:
*Then one day he was gone and no one ever saw him round
He vanished like the breeze they forgot him in that little town
And all the girls still dreamed about him
And hung around the cabaret until the doors were locked
Figure (Twice for Heads, Twice for Sides)
Heads (Sides) Left Square Thru 4 hands around that ring you go
Go all the way and then do a Left Dosado you know
Make a Left hand wave - Left Swing Thru
With the Left hand Spin the Top - move up and then
Boys you Cross Run - Recycle round now,
You Slide Thru- Swing the corner, Promenade that ring
And he would play...
