Freight Train

two columns

OPENER    Mainstream

Allemande left in alamo style, right to partner and balance
Box the gnat and go the wrong way in a right & left grand
Got no future and I got no home
Partner box the gnat, then do a dosado
Allemande left your corner, then weave around the ring
Freight train, freight train
Promenade and help me sing
I don't care what train I'm on
Just as long as it keeps rollin' on


FIGURE (Basic)    Mainstream, corner progression

Head 2 couples right & left thru and turn the ladies too
Star thru and pass thru and then a right & left thru
Now square thru 3/4 round my friend
To the corner, allemande left, go forward two
Go right & left thru turn back one and swing
Swing that lady round then you promenade that ring
I don't care what train I'm on
Just as long as it keeps rollin' on


FIGURE (MS & QS)    Mainstream, corner progression

Head couples right & left thru and turn the lady fair
Star thru and pass thru, swing thru over there
Boys run right and then do a ferris wheel tonight
Centers pass thru and make a right hand star
Turn the star all the way then the girls turn back and swing
Swing that man around then promenade that ring
I don't care what train I'm on
Just as long as it keeps rollin' on
