OPENER Basic - SSD Week 4
Sides face, grand square
Oh Danny boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling
From glen to glen and down the mountainside
Four ladies chain, you turn and chain 'em back and promenade
Yes, 'tis you, 'tis you must go and I must bye
FIGURE (twice for heads, twice for sides) Mainstream - SSD Week 12, corner progression
Heads square thru 4 hands around
And now you dosado and all swing thru
Boys run right, half tag, scoot back and go
Boys run right around this girl, slide thru
You swing the corner lady, and all promenade
The summer's gone and all the leaves are dry
MIDDLE BREAK Basic - SSD Week 1
Circle left
But come ye back when spring is on the meadow
The men star right, left allemande and now you weave
For I'll be here, in sunshine or in shadow
Promenade
Oh Danny boy, oh Danny boy, I love you so
FIGURE (ALTERNATE) Plus, corner progression
Sides square thru 4 hands and then touch 1/4 here
And follow your neighbor, there's no spread
Explode the wave instead, and now do a partner trade
Reverse the flutter wheel and go, you sweep 1/4 more
You roll away, you swing and all promenade
And I shall sleep, in peace til you come to me
CLOSER Basic - SSD Week 4
Sides face, grand square
But should ye come when spring is on the meadow
And all the flowers are hushed and wet with dew
Four ladies chain and you chain them back and promenade
Oh Danny boy, oh Danny boy, I love you so
