OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER Mainstream
Circle left
Daddy Frank played the guitar and the french harp
Sister played the ringing tambourine
Allemande left with the corner, turn the partner by the right
Men star left go once around the ring
Turn thru with your partner and the corner allemande
Dosado and promenade in time
And it wasn't like a normal family combo
Cause Daddy Frank the guitar man was blind
FIGURE Mainstream, corner progression
1 & 3 (2 & 4) you promenade, go halfway round
2 & 4 (1 & 3) you do the right & left thru
Then square thru 4 hands, go all the way around
Dosado there with the outside two
Swing thru, the boys trade, turn thru and then
Allemande left and promenade in time
And it wasn't like a normal family combo
Cause Daddy Frank the guitar man was blind
ALTERNATE LYRICS
Promenade tonight
And mama needed someone she could lean on
And I believe the guitar pickin' man was right
Promenade around
And I don't ever remember going hungry
But I remember mama cookin' on the ground
