Old Lamp Lighter | RIV 672 |
Elmer Sheffield, Ken Bower |
Circle Left
*You'd hear the patter of his feet as he came
toddling down the street
His smile would cheer a lonely heart, you see
Left Allemande the Corner, Turn Partner by the Right
Left Allemande and Weave around the Ring
He made the night a little brighter
Swing and you Promenade
The old lamp lighter of long, long ago
*Now if you look up in the sky, you'll understand
the reason why
The little stars at night are all aglow
*If there were sweethearts in the park, he'd pass a
lamp and leave it dark
Remembering the days that used to be
Heads you Promenade and take 'em half around that ring
Side couples Star Thru for me, Pass Thru
You Star Thru again, then a Right & Left Thru my friend
Load The Boat across the ring you know
He made the night a little brighter
Swing and you Promenade
The old lamp lighter of long, long ago
Of long, long ago
