OPENER

Circle left
 He was sitting on his front porch pickin'
    When I snuk up behind his shack
    He was playing that ol beat up guitar of his
    To a dog that he called Jack 
Your 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 

FIGURE

Well, the head (side) two couples, gonna promenade
You go 1/2 way round the ring
Walk into the middle & square thru 4 hands around I sing
4 hands around and then, a right & left thru & turn the girl
You're gonna veer to the left & couples circulate
Chain down the line
Square thru and go 3/4 round, swing that corner girl
Promenade her to the guitar sound

BREAK

Circle left
 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 
Your 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 

CLOSER

Circle left
 Well I spent alot of time in his cabin
    Just him, that ole dog and me
    And folks, it was there I heard the best guitar in Tennessee 
Your 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
