Bonaparte's Retreat   (Jopat 218)   Joe Porritt

OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER    Basic

4 ladies promenade go once inside that ring now
Back home and swing, swing your man somehow
Join hands, circle up 8, circle left with your date
Allemande that corner girl and weave around that town
All the world was bright, as I held her on that night
Dosado and promenade around so light
So I held her in my arms, told her of her many charms
While the guitar played Bonaparte's Retreat

FIGURE    Mainstream, corner progression

Heads promenade go halfway round to Dixie
Sides pass thru, do a partner trade and then,
Square thru in the middle go 4, 4 hands around that floor
Dosado that corner, do an eight chain 4
Swing that corner, promenade
So I held her in my arms, told her of her many charms
While the guitar played Bonaparte's Retreat
