Matthew
(RIV 676) Joe Saltel
OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER
Grand Square
*I had an uncle, name of Matthew, he was his father's only boy
Born just south of Colby, Kansas
Left Allemande and Weave the Ring
Joy was just a thing that he was raised on,
Love was just a way to live and die;
Gold was just a windy Kansas wheat field,
Blue was just the Kansas summer sky
FIGURE
Heads Square Thru count 'em 4 hands round
You make a Right Hand Star
The Heads Star Left, roll it one time and then
Same pair and do a Dosado
Swing Thru and then the Boys Trade
Swing the corner lady round and Promenade
Gold was just a windy Kansas wheat field,
Blue was just the Kansas summer sky
TAG
Gold was just a windy Kansas wheat field,
Blue was just the Kansas summer sky
ADDITIONAL LYRICS
* And all the stories that he told me back when I was just a lad;
All the memories that he gave me
* And so I wrote this down for Matthew, it's for him this song is sung;
Riding on his daddy's shoulders
