Old Lamp Lighter    (RIV 672)  Elmer Sheffield/Ken Bower

OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER



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, Dosado you own

Swing your girl around and Promenade
The old lamp lighter of long, long ago

Swing the corner lady round and Promenade
The old lamp lighter of long, long ago

TAG



Of long, long ago
