Big 8 Wheeler Blue Yodeler   (Longhorn 1010 )   Guy Poland

OPENER - BREAK - CLOSER



Sides face, grand square
Well, all around the water tank, just a waiting for a train
A thousand miles away from home

When you're there, everybody swing
I walked up to that ole brakeman, just to hand him a line of talk
He said if you got money boy

At home, swing don't walk
The wide open spaces all around me
At home you swing your love
Left allemande, a dosado, men star left and go
Turn thru at home, left allemande, now you swing and you promenade
Well, that big 8 wheelers, gonna roll me on down the line (or yodel)

FIGURE



Now 1 & 3 (2 & 4) square thru 4 hands, round that corner, you dosado
Swing thru and then the boys run right
Wheel and deal and do the right and left thru
Dive in..square thru 3/4 round, swing that corner waitin' there (Promenade)
A thousand miles away from home, just a waitin' for a train

ALTERNATE FIGURE

Now 1 & 3 (2 & 4) square thru 4 hands, round that corner, you dosado
Spin chain thru, boys work across, girls circulate and go (turn thru)
Left allemande, then swing this girl, promenade a full turn
A thousand miles away from home, just a waitin' for a train
