The Old Lamplighter (Chinook 050 ) Daryl Clendenin
OPEN - BREAK - CLOSE
Do an allemande left in the alamo style, balance out and in,
Swing thru go forward two you know
Swing thru go forward two, meet your partner turn thru
Left allemande and weave the ring and go
And make the night a little brighter
Swing the girl and promenade 'em home
Just like the old lamplighter of long, long ago
FIRST FIGURE
Heads promenade , halfway round I say
Now when you're there roll a half sashay
Square thru in the middle and go, count em four hands you know
Dosado and make an ocean wave, Centres trade
Just the boys scoot back, while the girls trade
Swing the corner, promenade 'em home
Like the old lamplighter of long, long ago
SECOND FIGURE
Heads promenade , halfway round I say
Down the middle and do a full square thru
Four hands around and then, a right and left thru and turn 'em friend
Veer to the left and ferris wheel you do
Centre two right and left thru, turn 'em
Veer left, veer right, Swing the corner, promenade 'em home
Like the old lamplighter of long, long ago
