Mountain Railway
  (Jopat 239)   Joe Porritt, Cliff Porritt
 
one column

OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER    Basic

Circle left
*Life is like a mountain railway
With an engineer that's brave

Walk all around your corner, see saw your own
Left allemande and weave around the ring
Heed the curves, the hills, the tunnels
Dosado and promenade
Keep your hand upon the throttle
And your eye upon the rail


FIGURE (heads twice, sides twice)    Basic, corner progression

Heads lead right, circle 4 and make a line
Lines of 4 forward up and back, star thru
Swing thru and then let the boys run right
Ferris wheel into the middle you go
Centers pass thru, square thru 3 hands
Swing the corner girl and promenade
Keep your hand upon the throttle
And your eye upon the rail


ALTERNATE LYRICS

*As we roll along the mainline
There'll be storms and there'll be night
