Circle left
The Orange Blossom Special, the Wabash Cannonball
Reverse back, go single file, you're gonna move it round that hall
Girls step out and backtrack one time around for me
Turn your partner by the right, left allemande and weave
Ride the train, ride the train
Swing your lady round and promenade
Sleepin' in a boxcar when it rains
Ride the train, ride the train

1 & 3 pass thru, do a partner trade & roll to face
Box the gnat, you're gonna pull on by and do a dosado
Make your wave and the ladies trade, recycle please
Veer to the left and ferris wheel then
Those center two square thru 3/4 round and swing
Swing the corner lady, promenade
Sleepin' in a boxcar when it rains
Ride the train, ride the train

1 & 3 square thru 4 hands around you know
Meet your corner with a curlique and scoot back you go
Check your wave and the centers trade, spin the top for me
Move right along and pass thru, those boys fold to face
Box the gnat, pull on by, *left allemande and then
Swing the corner lady, promenade
Sleepin' in a boxcar when it rains
Ride the train, ride the train

(*Note to callers: before calling figure 2 caution dancers in advance of the left allemande with same sex.)
