two columns

OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER    Basic - SSD Week 4

Sides face, grand square
From the great Atlantic ocean to the wide Pacific shore
From the ones we leave behind us, to the ones we'll see once more
She's mighty tall and handsome, and quite well known by all
How we love the choo-choo of the Wabash Cannon Ball

All 4 ladies promenade, once around that ring
Right back home and swing, everybody swing
Promenade this lady, we're gonna have a ball
Take your cutie for a ride on the Wabash Cannon Ball


FIGURE    Mainstream - SSD Week 12, corner progression

1 & 3 lead to the right, circle for awhile
Break right out to a line of 4, watch the ladies smile
Right & left thru turn 'em too, pass the ocean go
Swing thru and when you're through, scoot back you know
Step right into an ocean wave, recycle too
Pass thru, swing a new girl, promenade her too
O'er the mountain through the valley, to the square dance hall
Take your cutie for a ride on the Wabash Cannon Ball


MIDDLE BREAK (ALTERNATE)   

Heads in, Grand Parade
From the great Atlantic ocean to the wide Pacific shore
From the ones we leave behind us, to the ones we'll see once more
She's mighty tall and handsome, and quite well known by all
How we love the choo-choo of the Wabash Cannon Ball
Hear the bell and whistle calling, hear the wheels that go clack-clack
Hear the roaring of the engine as she rolls along the track
The magic of the railroad wins hearts of one and all
As we reach our destination on the Wabash Cannon Ball
