OPENER 

Sides face, grand square
 Oh Danny boy the pipes, the pipes are calling
    From glen to glen and down the mountain side 
4 ladies chain, you turn, chain 'em back and promenade
 Yes, tis you, tis you must go and I must bide  


OPENER - BREAK - CLOSER

Heads (sides) square thru 4 hands & now you dosado
And all swing thru, boys run right
1/2 the line, scoot back you know
Boys run right around this girl, slide thru
Swing the corner lady and all promenade
 The summer is gone and all the leaves are dry 
        (And o'er my grave will warmer and sweeter be) 

BREAK

Circle to the left
 But call me back when summer's in the meadow 
The men star right, left allemande and you weave
 For I'll be there in sunshine or in shadow 
Promenade
 Oh Danny boy, oh Danny boy, I love you so 

CLOSER

Sides face, grand square
 But should you come when spring is on the meadow
    And all the flowers are hushed and wet with dew 
4 ladies chain and you chain them back and promenade
 Oh Danny boy, oh Danny boy, I love you so 

ALTERNATE FIGURE

Heads (sides) square thru 4 hands and you touch 1/4 here
Follow your neighbor here, there's no spread
Explode the wave instead, and now do a partner trade
Reverse the flutterwheel and go, sweep 1/4 more
You rollaway, you swing and all promenade
 And I shall sleep in peace until you come to me  
      (Tis you tis you must go and I must stay)
