Circle left
*I lost all my money in a crooked poker game
Now I'm riding home on this old freight train

Left allemande the corner, dosado your own
Men star left once around you go
Meet your partner touch 1/4, boys run right
Left allemande the corner, promenade tonight
I've got the box car blues, shuffle on down the track

ALTERNATE LYRICS

*Dream of my big bed, biscuits in the pan
Dream of my woman with another man


*Stay away from trains and those loaded dice
Love your little woman and she'll treat you nice


*Listen to me brother, it just ain't so
There is no easy life for a poor hobo


FIGURE    Mainstream, corner progression

Heads (Sides) square thru four hands you go
Make a right hand star turn it and go
Heads (Sides) star left, roll it one time around
Same two a right & left thru turn the girl around
Step to a wave, girls trade, recycle and then
Swing the corner lady and promenade her my friend
I've got the box car blues, shuffle on down the track
