Hitchin' A Ride

Mike Seastrom (Courtesy Rhythm Records)

Sides Face, Grand Square
A thumb goes up, a car goes by
It’s 1 AM, and here am I
Hitchin’ a ride, hitchin’ a ride
Left Allemande the Corner, and Weave that Ring
I gotta get me home to my Baby’s side
Swing that girl, and Promenade
Ride, ride, ride, hitchin’ a ride

I’ve got no fare, to ride a train
I’m nearly drownin’, in the pouring rain
Hitchin’ a ride, hitchin’ a ride
...
Been away too long from my Baby’s side
...
Ride, ride, ride, hitchin’ a ride

A thumb goes up, a car goes by
Won’t somebody stop and help this guy?
Hitchin’ a ride, hitchin’ a ride
...
I gotta get me home to my Baby’s side
...
Ride, ride, ride, hitchin’ a ride

Head/Side Square Thru, Four hands around, inside that set
Meet your Corner and Swing Thru you bet
Boys you Trade, all Right Arm Turn Full Around
Four Boys Star Left, a Full Turn inside, Girls Hitch Hike (Thumbs Out Girls!)
Boys Star Promenade same Corner side by side
All Promenade this lady home
Ride, ride, ride, hitchin’ a ride

Four Girls Promenade, then Swing at home
Ride, ride, ride, hitchin’ a ride
