OPENER
Sides face Grand Square

An only child alone and wild, a cabinet makers son

His hands were meant for different work

And his heart was known to none
Allemande left and weave
He left his home and went his own lone and solitary way

He gave to me a gift I know I never can repay

FIGURE 1,2 and 4

Heads couples Square thru 4 hands go and a Right and Left thru

Swing thru then Spin your top. Boys move up slide thru

Pass to the Center Square Thru 3 Swing the Corner Promenade

I’m just a living legacy to the leader of the band.

MIDDLE BREAK - Closer

Sides face, grand square
The leader of the band is tired and his eyes are growing old

His blood runs through my instrument and his song is in my soul

Allemande left and weave

My life has been a poor attempt to imitate the man

I just a living legacy to the leader of the band
