City of New Orleans (Cloverleaf 3 ) Herb Franklin

OPENER

Circle left
Riding on the City of New Orleans
Illinois central, Monday morning rails
Left allemande your corner, dosado now
Left allemande your corner, weave that ring
All along the southbound odyssey
Dosado and promenade
The conductor sings his song again, the passengers will please refrain
This train has got the disappearing blues

FIGURE

Heads square thru and get me 4 now
With the sides you make a right hand star
Heads star left in the middle and gonna turn it
Same two you do the right & left thru
Swing thru and then you're gonna swing thru again
Swing the corner lady, promenade
Mothers with their babes asleep, rockin' to the gentle beat
And the rhythm of the rails is all they feel

BREAK - ENDING

Sides face grand square
Good morning America how are you?
Don't you know me, I'm your native son
I'm the train they call the City of New Orleans
I'll be gone five hundred miles when the day is done
Allemande left and weave
Good morning America, how are you?
Dosado and promenade
I'm the train they call the City of New Orleans
I'll be gone five hundred miles when the day is done
