MAINSTREAM

OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER

4 Ladies Promenade inside
Get home, Swing your man high & wide

Join up all your hands and you Circle to the Left

Left Allemande and Baby, Weave that Ring

Waitin' for the one I adore

Swing your girl and Promenade for sure

I'm waitin' for my life to begin
Waitin' for the train to come in

FIGURES 1- 3

Heads Promenade Halfway

Walk in and Square Thru I say
All the way and then, a Right & Left Thru

Veer to the Left and Couples Circulate

1/2 Tag, Scoot Back and then

Swing and Promenade her, my friend

I'm waitin' for my life to begin
Waitin' for the train to come in

FIGURE 4

Side Couples Promenade Halfway

Down the middle, Pass the Ocean, Extend
Single Hinge and then, Scoot Back my friend

Boys Run to the Right and all Square Thru

3/4 go around the ring you know

Swing your lady there, Promenade her and go

I'm waitin' for my life to begin
Waitin' for the train to come in

CLOSER

4 Ladies Promenade inside
Get home, Swing your man high & wide

Join up all your hands and you Circle to the Left

Left Allemande and Baby, Weave that Ring

Waitin' for the one I adore

Swing your girl and Promenade once more

I'm waitin' for my life to begin
Waitin' for the train to come in

ORIGINAL LYRICS

Waitin' for the train to come in
Waitin' for my man to come home
I've counted every minute of each live long day
Been so melancholy since he went away

 

I've shed a million teardrops or more
Waitin' for the one I adore
I'm waitin' in the depot by the railroad track
Lookin' for the choo-choo train that brings him back

 

I'm waitin' for my life to begin
Waitin' for the train to come in

 

Instrumental Break

 

I'm waitin' in the depot by the railroad track
Lookin' for the choo-choo train that brings him back
I'm waitin' for my life to begin
Waitin' for the train to come in

 

Waiting
Waiting
I'm waitin' for the train to come in
