Highway 40 Blues
(Q 824)
Lee Main
OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK - ENDING
Circle Left
*Got them Highway 40 Blues,
I've walked holes in both my shoes
Men star right - go once around,
Allemande left and weave the ring
**Wasted time and money too,
Swing your partner - promenade
In the end I had to lose,
Lord above, I've paid my dues
Got these Highway 40 Blues
FIGURE
Heads (Sides) Square thru and go, Four hands around and do-si-do
Swing through - go two by two,
Boys run right and bend the line
Go right and left through,
And the ladies lead dixie style to an ocean wave
Slip the clutch - left allemande,
Swing your corner - promenade
In the end I had to lose,
Lord above, I've paid my dues
Got the Highway 40 Blues
TAG
Four ladies chain over and back
ALTERNATE LYRICS
*The highway called when I was young,
Told me lines of things to come
**Shattered from mine is none,
My eyes are filled with bitter tears,
Lord I ain't been home in years
*You know I've rambled all around,
**Pretty girls I have to say,
Things a country boy can't use,
Dixieland I sure miss you
