Caller Elmer Sheffield Jr.
OPENER
Circle. When the sun goes down o'er Dublin town,
the colors last for hours, oh. The lights come on,
the night's a song, and the streets all turn to gold.
Allemande the corner gal, Turn a right hand
around your own and then Allemande
the corner gal and you Weave around the ring.
Like a gentle mist all heaven's kissed,
the teardrops fall like rain Swing and whirl
your pretty little girl and you Promenade the ring.
Oh, Katherine, take my hand, I've got three pounds
and change I'll sing a song of love and then
we'll walk in the Irish rain.
FIGURE
Head [side] couples Square Thru,
four hands around you do Out to the corner girl
and then Touch a Quarter here. Follow Your Neighbor,
and Spread Ladies Trade, Recycle,
now Reverse the Flutter, Veer to the Right
Take her by the hand and Promenade tonight.
Sing, sing a song of love again and again
And when I grow to tired to sing
I'll walk in the Irish rain.
BREAK
Circle. Forever more I've stepped ashore,
my sailing days are over, now Through time and tide
and by your side we'll all go home
Do an Allemande Left your corner gal,

and Weave around again. Time to kill,
they'll sing their fill, they shout by the break of dawn
Swing and whirl your pretty little girl and
Promenade her home. Ah Katherine take my hand,
I've got three pounds and change I'll sing a song of love
and then we'll walk in the Irish rain.
CLOSER

around your own and then

Weave around the ring.

and you Promenade the ring.
