STREAMLINE
CANONBALL
PCD-6012
OPENER Circle now. She moves along like a cannonball,
Likeastaronaheavenlyflight.
Come on the men star right and you roll it around now
Allemande the corner, weave the ring.
Well it's the lonesome sound of the whistle I love.
Meet your girl, promenade in time.
Well I'm on that train, the king of them all
The Streamline Cannonball.
FIGURE Those heads square through in the middle, four hands go
Meet the corner girl and then swing through.
Boy run, bend the line, boy walk, girl dodge
Scoot back, around you go, scoot back boy and you ride that train
Swing the corner girl around, now,
Promenade her home in time.
I'm on that train, the long black train,
It's the Streamline Cannonball.
BREAK Circle now. I see a smile on the engineer's face,
Although he's old and grey.
The men star right and you roll it around,
Allemande the corner, weave the ring.
With a contented heart, he waits for the call.
Meet your girl, promenade in time.
He's on that train, the king of them all.
The Streamline Cannonball.
CLOSER Circle. A long steel rail and a short cross tie,
I'm on my way back home.
Men star right and you roll it around now.
Allemande the corner, weave the ring.
Well, I'm on that train, it's the life I love
Meet your girl, promenade in time.
I'm going to ride the train to the end of the line.
The Streamline Cannonball.
I'm going to ride the train to the end of the line.
It's the Streamline Cannonball.
