Streets Of London Ralph McTell; many others 1969 | (Aussie Tempos 1002) Steve Turner |
OPENER Basic - SSD Week 4, corner progression
Sides face, grand square 8 steps
Have you seen the old man in the closed down market
Kicking up the papers with his worn out shoes
Join your hands and go, circle left around you know
Allemande left your corner, weave the ring for me
Oh, how can you tell me you're lonely
Swing your lady, promenade the sun don't shine
Let me take you by the hand
And lead you through the streets of London
I'll show you something that'll make you change your mind
FIGURE Mainstream, corner progression
Head (side) couples promenade 1/2 way with your maid
2 & 4 (1 & 3) right & left thru and turn the girl I say
Square thru in the middle you do, 4 hands 'round there Sue
Dosado that corner, spin chain thru
Oh, how can you tell me girls circulate one time
Swing your corner, promenade around so fine
Let me take you by the hand
And lead you through the streets of London
I'll show you something (that'll make you change your mind)
MIDDLE BREAK Basic - SSD Week 4
Sides face, grand square (musical interlude)
Circle right
Oh how can you tell me you're lonely
Boys move up and promenade the next so fine
I'll show you something that'll make you change your mind
CLOSER Basic - SSD Week 4, corner progression
Sides face grand square 8 steps
Have you seen the old girl who walks the streets of London
With dirt in her hair and clothes in rags
Join hands and circle left, moving around that set
Oh, how can you tell me you're lonely
I say, for her, that the sun doesn't shine
Let me take you by the hand
And lead you through the streets of London
I'll show you something that'll make you change your mind
TAG
Chain the ladies over and back
Before I change my mind
