Walkin' In The Black Forest (TOP 25154) Chip Hendrickson

BREAK

4 ladies chain, chain the ladies cross the set
Turn the girls and chain 'em straight on back
Take your own and promenade 2 by 2 and hand in hand
Go walking, talking round the land
It's right back home, sides face, grand slide
Walk 2, 3, 4; Slide --, Slide --
Walk 2, 3, 4; Slide --, Slide back
Slide --, Slide --; walk 2, 3, 4
Slide --, Slide --; walk 2, heads square thru

FIGURE

Heads square thru 3/4 round
Then take your partner promenade, you go halfway
Side couples square thru 3/4 round
Then leave your partner, separate go halfway
All join hands, circle left
Swing your corner lady round and round
And then you better promenade 2 by 2
You walk this maid and sing a little serenade back home
And when you're there (heads square thru or 4 ladies chain)

ENDING

Bow to your partner and your corner girl

SEQUENCE: (Break, figure twice for heads, break, figure twice for sides, break, ending)
