two columns

OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER    Mainstream

4 ladies grand chain straight across that ring
Now join hands and circle left you go
Allemande left, go allemande thar, right & left and make a star
The men back up and make your back-up star
Now shoot that star, and turn thru,
Left allemande that corner girl
Go home, do a dosado and then you promenade
Hear that whistle blowing, she's coming around the bend
The wreck of '97's coming home


FIGURE    Mainstream, corner progression

1 & 3 you promenade halfway around the ring
Then lead to the right and circle up 4 you know
Tag the line, turn in 1/4
Then slide thru and square thru 3 hands around you go
Allemande left your corner girl, go home do a dosado
Go back and swing the corner girl and promenade
Hear that train a-coming, that throttle's open wide
That wreck of '97's coming home
