OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER Basic - SSD Week 4
Sides face, grand square
*Well, I took a stroll on the old long walk
Of a day-i-ay-i-ay . . .
I met a little girl and we stopped to talk
On a fine soft day i-ay...
Allemande and weave
And I ask you friend, what's a fella to do
'Cause her hair was black and her eyes were blue
And I knew right then I'd be takin' a whirl
'Round the salthill prom with a Galway girl
ALTERNATE LYRICS
*We were half way there when the rain came down
On a day-i-ay-i-ay
She asked me up to her flat downtown
On a fine soft day i-ay
*When I woke up I was all alone
Ay-i-ay-i-ay
With a broken heart and a ticket home
*And I ask you now, tell me what would you do
If her hair is black and her eyes were blue
'Cause I've traveled around, been all over this world
I ain't seen nothin' like a Galway girl
FIGURE Basic - SSD Week 8, corner progression
Heads (Sides) square thru four hands around
Around that corner do a dosado,
Swing thru, girls circulate, boys trade
Boys run right, bend the line that way
Star thru, square thru 3/4 go
Swing that corner and promenade her home
So I took her hand, and I gave her a twirl
And I lost my heart to a Galway girl
