Called by
Kevin Robinson
Sides Face Grand Square
Daddy Frank played the guitar and the french harp,
Sister played the ringing tambourine.
Mama couldn't hear our pretty music,
She read our lips and helped the family sing
Allemande and Weave
That little band was all a part of living,
And our only means of living at the time;
And it wasn't like no normal family combo,
Cause Daddy Frank the guitar man was blind.
FIGURES
Heads/Sides Square Thru
DoSiDo one time, Swing Thru,
Boys Run right and Ferris Wheel
Centers Pass Thru, Slide Thru
Square Thru 3 hands around
Swing that Corner girl around and you Promenade
*Wasn't like no normal family combo,
*Cause Daddy Frank the guitar man was blind
**Mama did the driving for the family,
**And Frank made a living with a song.
***There had to be some special help from someone,
***And blessed be the one that let it be.
BREAK
Sides Face Grand Square
Fever caused my mama's loss of hearing.
Daddy Frank was born without his sight.
And mama needed someone she could lean on,
And I believe the guitar man was right.
Allemande Left and Weave
Don't remember how they got acquainted;
I can't recall just how it came to be.
There had to be some special help from someone,
And blessed be the one that let it be.
