Traditional Square Dance:
THE TEXAS STAR
(from Callerlab, Dallas, Texas, 1999, Jon Jones)
LADIES TO THE CENTER AND BACK TO THE BAR
GENTS TO THE CENTER WITH A RIGHT HAND STAR
Right hand cross and how-de-do
BACK TO THE LEFT go so are you
MEET YOUR pretty GIRL and PASS HER BY
PICK UP THE NEXT girl on the fly
STAR PROMENADE and around you go
INSIDE OUT AND THE OUTSIDE IN
GO ONCE AND A HALF put the pretty points in
And you STAR PROMENADE go the other way ‘round
GIRLS ROLLAWAY that’s what I say
STAR PROMENADE in the same old way
SPREAD THAT STAR way out wide
GIRLS DUCK UNDER THE GENT’S RIGHT SIDE
ALLEMANDE LEFT that old left hand
Here we go in a RIGHT AND LEFT GRAND
Hand over hand till you meet your maid
Take her by the hand and all PROMENADE
Home you go and you SWING and whirl
Round and around with the pretty little girl
Repeat three more times
