OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER Mainstream
Circle left
All aboard, that riverboat's a-waiting
Reverse back, go single file and then
You girls backtrack, meet partner turn thru
Left allemande then weave the ring
We're riding on the back of Old Man River
Dosado your own and promenade
Around just one more bend lies sleepy New Orleans
As the winding Mississippi takes me home
FIGURE C4, corner progression
You heads square thru and get to four now
When you meet that corner girl, curlique, girls run
Oh curlique again, boys run right and then
Left allemande and do a little dosado
Hey get to the corner swing, oh swing her I say
Left allemande, get back and promenade
There's a waiting Cajun Queen, down in New Orleans
As the winding Mississippi takes me home
