Girl With Gardenias    (RBS 1238)   Johnnie Wykoff

OPENER



Sides face, grand square
One starry night
In a little town in old Mexico
I found my love
Down by the sea where soft trade winds blow

4 ladies chain, chain back and promenade the square
And I lost my heart
To the girl with gardenias in her hair

FIGURE



The heads roll away
Pass thru around just 1 and make a line
1/2 square thru, trade by
Do a dosado you go, do an eight chain thru 4 hands then
Your corner swing and promenade the square
And I lost my heart
To the girl with gardenias in her hair

MIDDLE BREAK



Sides face, grand square
I glanced her way
She smiled and my heart started to sing
She came into my arms
And the night became a sweet magic thing

4 ladies chain, chain back and promenade the square
And I lost my heart
To the girl with gardenias in her hair

ENDING



Sides face, grand square
I go each night
To places where she once spoke my name
Some call me fool
They say I'm chasing only a dream

4 ladies chain, chain back and promenade the square
And I lost my heart
To the girl with gardenias in her hair
