Riverboat Blues (RIV 340) Elmer Sheffield

OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER

4 Ladies Chain, Turn the girl around, boy [listen to that piano!]
Rollaway, then you Circle, go around now
Roll her away and you Circle the ring
Left Allemande, come on and Weave that Ring
A little jig, a little jive, dancin’ holes in your shoes
Meet the little girl, Promenade home, you do
Went down to the river, took a little cruise
We danced all night to the Riverboat Blues.

FIGURE

Come on the heads [sides] Square Thru, 4 hands around
You make a right hand star and go around now
The heads [sides] Star left, inside, go!
Same two, both hands, Single Circle, you know
Rare back, Star Thru and Roll
Swing the corner girl around, Promenade on home
A little rock, a little roll, dance with who you choose
But dance all night to the Riverboat Blues.

TAG

Went down to the river, took a little cruise.
Danced all night to the Riverboat Cruise.
