OPENER - BREAK - CLOSER

Circle to the left
* I hear that train a comin', it's rolling round the bend
 I ain't seen the sunshine, since I don't know when 
Well you're gonna walk around that corner lady
You're gonna seesaw round your own
Left allemande that corner, weave around that ring
 Well I'm stuck in Folsom Prison time keeps dragging on 
Swing your honey, gonna promenade her back home
 Well I hear that train a movin' on down to San Antone 

* If they free'd me from this prison and that railroad train were mine
     Bet I'd move along a little bit farther down the line
     Far from Folsom Prison that's where I want to stay
     And let that lonesome whistle blow my blues away 

FIGURE

All 4 ladies chain, you're gonna turn that girl you know
Heads/sides you promenade outside 1/2 way round you go
Lead out to the right & circle make that line & then
Dance up to the middle & come on back, pass the ocean there
All 8 circulate once & 1/2 you box the gnat and
Swing that lady once you're gonna promenade that track
 And let that lonesome whistle blow my blues away 

ALTERNATE FIGURE

4 ladies promenade get one time round you know
Well you're gonna come back, swing your handsome man around you go
Join all of your hands now you circle & then
Let's do a left allemande that corner
Weave around that ring
 Well I shot a man in Reno just to watch him die 
Swing your baby then you're gonna promenade you fly
 And when I hear that whistle I hang my head and cry 

TAG

 And let that lonesome whistle blow my blues away
