DADDY PLAYED THE BANJO – ESP – 236

Darryl Lipscomb

Opener:

Circle left,

Daddy played the banjo and mama sang a song,

We all joined in with 3 part harmony,

Left allemande, turn your partner by the right,

Left allemande and weave that ring,

It rang across the backyard, an old time melody,

Swing and whirl that pretty little girl and promenade for me,

Brother played the guitar, sister sang along,

Daddy made that banjo come alive.

Figure:

Heads square thru 4

Dosado

Swing Thru,

Spin the top,

Right and left thru,

Flutter wheel & sweep 1/4,

Swing and promenade.

Brother played the guitar, sister sang along,

Daddy made that banjo come alive.

Break & Ending:

All 4 ladies (men) promenade, go walking once around

Run on home and swing your girl around

Join hands and circle, go walking along

Left allemande and weave the ring

Daddy played the banjo and mama sang a song

We all joined in with 3 part harmony,

Brother played the guitar, sister sang along,

Daddy made that banjo come alive.

Tag:

Daddy made that banjo come alive.
