Circle left
*I lost all my money in a crooked poker game
Now I'm riding home on this old freight train
Left allemande the corner, dosado your own
Men star left once around you go
Meet your partner curlique, boys run right
Left allemande the corner, promenade tonight
I've got the box car blues, shuffle on down the track
FIGURE Basic, corner progression
Heads square thru four hands you go
Make a right hand star turn it and go
Heads star left, roll it one time around
Same two a right & left thru turn the girl around
Swing thru and then swing thru again
Swing the corner lady, take a full promenade
I've got the box car blues, shuffle on down the track
FIGURE (ALTERNATE) C4, corner progression
Four ladies chain, sides promenade half
Heads square thru four, curlique
Scoot back, boys run
Slide thru
Swing and promenade
ALTERNATE LYRICS
*Dream of my big bed buscuits in the pan
Dream of my woman with another man
*Stay away from trains and those loaded dice
Love your little woman and she'll treat you nice
*Listen to me brother, it just ain't so
There is no easy life for a poor hobo
