Boxcar Blues

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

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

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
