OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER
Join hands and circle go walkin' round you go
4 ladies chain 3/4 round you go
Turn 'em there and roll away, you circle 8
Circle left now, go walkin' with your date
All 8 California twirl, cross trail to the corner go
Allemande that corner, promenade your own
Some guys can swing her on a dime or swing her right down town
But I need 40 acres to swing this gal of mine
FIGURE
Heads a right & left thru, sides cross trail
Allemande that corner, right to the girl with a wagon wheel*
Men star left, the girls hook on, roll it round that town
Hub backs out a full turn, 4 ladies chain
Turn her there with a roll promenade, go walkin' round that ring
Men roll back, promenade that corner Jane
Some guys can roll their wagon down town on a dime
But I need 40 acres for this here gal of mine
*Wagon wheel: men turn girl right forearm full around, then spin girl in
man's right arm. Hub (centers) back out of star a full turn retaining
lady on their right arm, then the 4 ladies chain.
