Circle to the left
If there were sweethearts in the park
He'd pass a lamp and leave it dark
Remembering the days that used to be
Left allemande your corner, run home do a dosado
Do an allemande left that corner, weave the ring
He made the night a little brighter wherever he would go
Promenade her
The old lamplighter of long, long ago

Heads square thru four hands around will do
Meet those sides make a right hand star
Heads star left and you roll it around the ring
Same two you do the right and left thru, veer to the left
You ferris wheel and then the centers pass thru
Swing the corner promenade
The old lamp lighter of long, long ago

4 ladies chain, go straight across that ring
You chain them back, do a dopaso, turn the partner left
Corner by the right and the partner left you know
Head ladies center for a tea cup chain and go
He made the night a little brighter wherever he would go
The old lamp lighter of long, long ago

Swing her
The old lamp lighter of long, long ago
