Sides face grand square
An only child alone and wild, a cabinet makers son
His hands were meant for different work
And his heart was known to none
Allemande left and weave
He left his home and went his own lone and solitary way
He gave to me a gift I know I never can repay

Heads couples square thru 4 hands go and a right & left thru
Swing thru then spin your top
Boys move up, slide thru
Pass to the center, square thru 3
Swing the corner, promenade
I'm just a living legacy to the leader of the band

Sides face grand square
Thank you for the music and the stories of the road
Thank you for the freedom when it came my time to go
Sides square thru to 4 round swing your corner girl around and promenade
I'm just a living legacy for the leader of the band

Sides face, grand square
The leader of the band is tired and his eyes are growing old
His blood runs through my instrument and his song is in my soul
Allemande left and weave
My life has been a poor attempt to imitate the man
I just a living legacy to the leader of the band
