Hitchin' A Ride

Dee Dee Dougherty-Lottie (Courtesy Rhythm Records)

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

Long distance call I got today
He sounded lonely, but I'm on my way
Hitchin’ a ride, hitchin’ a ride
...
I gotta get me home to be by his side
...
Ride, ride, ride, hitchin’ a ride

Heads/Sides Promenade, halfway 'round
Walk right in, Square Thru around
Four hands you know
Make a little wave, Swing Thru
Boy Trade, Boy Run, Bend the Line
Pass the Ocean, All 8 Circulate
Find the Corner, Swing and Promenade
Ride, ride, ride, hitchin’ a ride

Heads/Sides Promenade, halfway 'round
Walk right in, Square Thru around
Go all the way...do a Right & Left Thru
Slide Thru, Square Thru count me Four
Trade By, Swing the Corner, Promenade
Ride, ride, ride, hitchin’ a ride

Ride, ride, ride, hitchin’ a ride
