Long Black Train    (ESP 1080)   Elmer Sheffield, Jr.

OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER



Circle left
*There's a long black train, comin' down the line
Feeding off the souls that are lost and cryin'

Left allemande your corner, turn partner by the right
Left allemande the corner then weave around tonight
Cause there's victory in the Lord, I say
Victory in the Lord
Cling to the Father and His Holy name
And don't go ridin' on that long black train

FIGURE



Heads promenade go halfway around
Walk in a right & left thru, turn the girl around
Flutter wheel across, then sweep 1/4 more
Pass thru and a right & left thru, turn the girl once more
Touch 1/4, split circulate two times
Swing the corner girl and you promenade
Cling to the Father and His Holy name
And don't go ridin' on that long black train

ALTERNATE LYRICS



*There's an engineer on that long black train
Makin' you wonder if the ride is worth the pain
*Well I can hear the whistle from a mile away
