OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER Basic - SSD Week 4
Sides face grand square
*There's a wondrous sight and a joyful sound
Every Christmas Eve in a western town
Gather up the kids all the friends and family
'Cause the holly's hung and the candle's bright
Tuning up a fiddle on a moon lit night
Roll back the rug so we can two-step 'round the Christmas tree
All four ladies promenade, once inside that ring
Swing your partner, swing her 'round, promenade I sing
'Cause western folk just can't be still and a silent night is not for me
Roll back the rug so we can two-step 'round the Christmas tree
ALTERNATE LYRICS
*There's a jolly man in a bright red suit
Did you ever see a Santa in cowboy boots
Twirling across the floor, spurs a jingling merrily
As they sing those carols soft and low
We'll all be shouting out cotton-eye Joe
Roll back the rug so we can two-step 'round the Christmas tree
*Red Bandanas, Kelly green
Silver buckles on a new blue jeans
Jumpin' 'round the room to a Yule tide melody
I'm gonna be ready when Santa's comes
But I'm gonna be dancing 'til he does
Roll back the rug so we can two-step 'round the Christmas tree
FIGURE Mainstream, corner progression
All four ladies chain across, turn the girl with a left and then
1 & 3 you pass thru, cloverleaf my friends
2 & 4 right & left thru, full turn around you do
Dosado then rare back, eight chain 4 around that track
Four hands you move it 'round, count 'em as you roam
Swing your corner girl and then promenade her home
'Cause western folk just can't be still and a silent night is not for me
Roll back the rug so we can two-step 'round the Christmas tree
