OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER

Circle left
*I hear that train a comin', it's rolling 'round the bend
*And I ain't seen the sunshine since I don't know when

Walk around your corner, see saw your own
Left allemande and weave the ring
**I'm stuck in Folsom prison and time keeps draggin' on
Swing your own around and promenade that way
**But that train keeps a-rollin' on down to San Antone

ALTERNATE LYRICS

*I bet there's rich folks eatin' in a fancy dining car
*They're probably drinkin' coffee and smokin' big cigars


**Well, I'm know I had it coming, I know I can't be free
**But those people keep a-movin' and that's what tortures me


*Well, if they freed me from this prison, if that railroad train was mine
*I bet I'd move it on a little farther down the line


**Far from Folsom prison that's where I want to stay
**And, I'd let that lonesome whistle blow my blues away


FIGURE

Heads two couples promenade, halfway around you go
Down the middle and pass the ocean, extend you go
Swing thru and then
Swing thru again
Recycle 'round and then you sweep 1/4 more
Square thru now go three hands
Swing that lady, promenade
Yeah, I'd let that lonesome whistle blow my blues away

TAG

Yeah, I'd let that lonesome whistle blow my blues away
