Squaws Along the Yukon
GMP-704
Called by
Nate Bliss
OPENER
Circle left
There's a pretty brown eyed girl that sets my heart awhirl
Who lives along the Yukon far away
Here's where the boys star by the right
Beneath the Northern lights
Do an allemande left with the corner and weave the ring now
Ooga-Ooga Mooska, which means that I love you
If you'll be my baby, I'll Ooga-Ooga Mooska you
Then I take her hand in mine and set her on my knee
The squaws along the Yukon are good enough for me
FIGURE (1)
Here's where the head two ladies chain, turn the girl and then
Chain her right on back across the ring now
Side two ladies chain, straight across the ring
You chain that lady right on back again
Well now all four ladies chain, 3/4 around the ring
Take her by the hand and you promenade them now
Where the Northern lights, they shine
I'll take her hand in mine
The squaws along the Yukon are good enough for me
FIGURE (2)
Well the heads square thru 4 hands around you do
When you're there split the sides around one
Down the middle and box the gnat, pass thru right after that
Around one, make a line of 4 and then, go right & left thru
Turn the girl and then, slide thru and the corner swing
Swing the corner lady and promenade that ring
Where the Northern lights, they shine
I'll take her hand in mine
The squaws along the Yukon are good enough for me
MIDDLE BREAK
Circle left
Where the Northern lights, they shine
She rubs her nose to mine
She cuddles close and I can hear her say
Here's where the boys star by the right
Beneath the Northern lights
Do an allemande left with the corner and weave the ring now
Ooga-Ooga Mooska, which means that I love you
If you'll be my baby, I'll Ooga-Ooga Mooska you
Then I take her hand in mine and set her on my knee
The squaws along the Yukon are good enough for me
