Steel Rails Alison Klauss; Louisa Branscomb; John Denver 1971 | (Lou Mac 337) Ray Brendzy |
OPENER Basic - SSD Week 1
Circle left
Steel Rails, chasing sunshine round the bend
Winding thru the trees like a ribbon in the wind
Men star right go once around in time
Allemande that corner girl, gonna weave the ring so fine
Steel Rails, chasing sunshine round the bend
Swing a little girl then you promenade my friend
And I don't mind not knowing what lies down the track
Because I'm looking out ahead to keep my mind from turning back
FIGURE Mainstream, corner progression
Heads (sides) square thru 4 hands around in time
You make a right hand star and turn it so fine
Heads star left in the middle and you roll it around you go
To the corner girl slide thru, square thru 3/4 around the ring
Swing a little girl and you promenade I sing
And I don't mind not knowing what lies down the track
Because I'm looking out ahead to keep my mind from turning back
MIDDLE BREAK Basic - SSD Week 1
Circle left
The whistle blows, blowing lonesome in my mind
Calling me along that never ending metal line
Men star right go once around in time
Allemande that corner girl, gonna weave the ring so fine
Steel Rails, chasing sunshine round the bend
Swing a little girl then you promenade my friend
And I don't mind not knowing what lies down the track
Because I'm looking out ahead to keep my mind from turning back
CLOSER Basic - SSD Week 1
Circle left
The sun is shining thru the open box car door
Lying in my mind with the things I've done before
Men star right go once around in time
Allemande that corner girl, gonna weave the ring so fine
Steel Rails, chasing sunshine round the bend
Winding thru the trees like a ribbon in the wind
And I don't mind not knowing what lies down the track
Because I'm looking out ahead to keep my mind from turning back
