City Of New Orleans

two columns

OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER    Basic - SSD Week 1

Circle left
*Ridin' on the city of New Orleans
Illinois central, Monday mornin' rails

Left allemande that corner, dosado now
Allemande left & weave around that ring
Good morning America, how are you
Swing that lady, promenade on home
I'm the train they call the city of New Orleans
I'll be long gone before the day is done


FIGURE    Mainstream - SSD Week 8, corner progression

Head (side) two couples square thru 4 hands around that ring you do
When you meet that corner lady, dosado
Swing thru 2 by 2, boys run to the right you do
Bend that line and then a right & left thru
Flutter wheel go full around and slide thru
Swing the corner, promenade on down
I'm the train they call the city of New Orleans
I'll be long gone before the day is done


ALTERNATE LYRICS

*Dealing cards with the old man in the club car
Penny a point, ain't no one keeping score

*Nighttime on the city of New Orleans
Changin' cars in Memphis, Tennessee

I'll be long gone before the day is done
