Circle left
He was sitting on his front porch pickin'
When I snuck up behind his shack
He was playing that ol beat up guitar of his
To a dog that he called Jack
You're gonna walk around your corner lady
Seesaw your own
Left allemande, then weave around the ring
He played punk and blues, folk and rock
He didn't know they had a name
Dosado, then swing that girl, promenade the ring
He took his thumb and he'd slap it numb
Say, Jack, here's how it's done
Just lay back and listen boy
To the man with the golden thumb

Well, the head (side) two couples, gonna promenade
You go halfway round the ring
Walk into the middle and square thru 4 hands around I sing
4 hands around and then, a right & left thru and turn the girl
You're gonna veer to the left and couples circulate
Chain down the line
Square thru and go 3/4 round, swing that corner girl
Promenade her to the guitar sound

I used to stand there in the darkness
And I listened while he played
And til this very day I recall every lick he made
You're gonna walk around your corner lady
Seesaw your own
Left allemande, then weave around the ring
He played punk and blues, folk and rock
He didn't know they had a name
Dosado, then swing that girl, promenade the ring
He took his thumb and he'd slap it numb
Say, Jack, here's how it's done
Just lay back and listen boy
To the man with the golden thumb

Circle left
Well I spent a lot of time in his cabin
Just him, that ole dog and me
And folks, it was there I heard the best guitar in Tennessee
You're gonna walk around your corner lady
Seesaw your own
Left allemande, then weave around the ring
He played punk and blues, folk and rock
He didn't know they had a name
Dosado, then swing that girl, promenade the ring
He took his thumb and he'd slap it numb
Say, Jack, here's how it's done
Just lay back and listen boy
To the man with the golden thumb
