two columns

OPENER    Basic - SSD Week 1

Circle left
Ribbon of darkness over me
Since my true love walked out the door

Men star right one time around
Left allemande, weave the ring
Ribbon of darkness over me
Swing your girl then promenade
Tears I never had before
Ribbon of darkness over me


FIGURE    Mainstream, corner progression

Four ladies chain across the meadow
Head (side) ladies chainback home and then
2 & 4 (1 & 3) touch 1/4 and walk & dodge
Right & left thru and turn 'em too
Eight chain 2 now corner swing
Swing the corner, promenade
*Tears I never had before
**Ribbon of darkness over me


ALTERNATE LYRICS

*Come on home & take away
**This ribbon of darkness over me
