Life Is Like A Mountain Railway | (Riverboat 860) Mr. Kaneko, Jr., Hiromi Kaneko, Kuniko Kawashima, Mitchell Osawa |
OPENER Basic - SSD Week 1
Circle left
Life is like a mountain railway
With an engineer that's brave
Left allemande and do a dosado
Allemande left and weave the ring
Watch the curves and heed the tunnels
Swing and all promenade, (Never falter, never fail)
Keep your hand upon the throttle
And your eyes upon the rail
FIGURE Mainstream - SSD Week 10, corner progression
Heads promenade go halfway
Walk in and square thru go four
All the way and then do a pass the ocean
By the right hand cast off 3/4 around
Boys run, pass thru, trade by
Corner swing and you promenade
Where the angels wait to join us in that great forever more
MIDDLE BREAK Basic - SSD Week 4
Sides face, grand square
As you roll across the trestle
Spanning Jordan's swelling tide
You behold the Union Depot
Into which your train will glide
Allemande and weave
There you'll meet the superintendent, God the father, God the son
With a hearty join us plaudit, weary pilgrim, welcome home
CLOSER Basic - SSD Week 1
Four ladies chain across, turn the girl
Four ladies chain her back, turn 'em around
All join your hands, circle left go 'round
Allemande left and weave the ring
Watch the curves, heed the tunnels
Never falter, never fail
Keep your hand upon the throttle
And your eyes upon the rail
TAG
And your eyes upon the rail
