Boxcar Blues

Dean Black

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

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 you go
Heads/Sides Star Left, roll it one time around
Same two a Right & Left Thru
Swing Thru and then, Swing Thru again
Swing your Corner lady 'round and Promenade my friend
I've got the box car blues, shuffle on down the track

I've got the box car blues, shuffle on down the track
