Midnight Hauler    (BC 114)   Larry Jackson

OPENER



Sides face, grand square
This eighteen wheeler's rolling through the desert night
Been driving all day but I won't shut 'er down tonight
Pulled out of Santa Fe, gonna make it home by the break of day
Cause the midnight hauler is cannonballin' her home

Left allemande that corner lady then swing
Swing that girl and promenade I sing
Talking on my radio, keepin' track of ole Smokey Joe
This midnight hauler is cannonballin' her home

FIGURE



Heads square thru 4 hands you go
Meet that corner lady, do a dosado
Swing thru and the boys run right
Do a ferris wheel and then a right & left thru
Square thru 3 hands you go
Swing the corner, promenade you know
Talking on my radio, keepin' track of ole Smokey Joe
'Cause the midnight hauler is cannonballin' her home

MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER



Four ladies promenade, it's once inside that ring
Get on home and swing your man, swing him high and low
Join hands and circle left, go walkin' around that ring
Left allemande and weave that ring
*Got my load strapped down and my Peterbilt wound up tight
Dosado and promenade for me
Talking on my radio, keepin' track of ole Smokey Joe
'Cause the midnight hauler is cannonballin' her home

ALTERNATE FIGURE



Heads square thru 4 hands you go
Meet your corner lady, dosado
Touch 1/4 then, walk & dodge, partner trade
Right & left thru, turn that girl
Flutter wheel go full around
Slide thru, swing your corner, promenade
Talking on my radio, keepin' track of ole Smokey Joe
'Cause the midnight hauler is cannonballin' her home

ALTERNATE LYRICS



*Got a little woman waitin' back on ole K.C.

*Saddle's full of diesel, belly full of coffee and whites



**Called her on the telephone, said tomorrow night you won't sleep alone
