You're Sixteen Ringo Starr (1973) 1960 | (Chinook 37) Gordon Sutton |
OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER C4
Circle left
*You come on like a dream, like peaches and cream
Lips like strawberry wine
Left allemande, curlique, boys run right
Girls star left and turn it one time tonight
Box the gnat, men star left and turn it around
Swing and promenade that old town
Oh, you're sixteen, you're beautiful, and you're mine
FIGURE C4, corner progression
Heads square thru 4 hands you do
Meet the sides and do a right & left thru, curlique
Scoot back my friends, boys fold
Double pass thru, cloverleaf, the girls turn thru
The corner you swing and promenade that old ring
Oh, you're sixteen, you're beautiful, and you're mine
FIGURE (ALTERNATE) Basic, unknown progression
The heads promenade halfway around
Down the middle, square thru 4 hands around
4 hands and then do the right & left thru
Veer left, ferris wheel, center 4 square thru 3/4 around
The corner you swing, swing this girl and promenade
Oh, you're sixteen, you're beautiful, and you're mine
ALTERNATE LYRICS
*You're ribbons and curls, oh what a girl
Eyes that twinkle and shine
