Danny Boy    (ESP 1147)  Elmer Sheffield

OPENER



Grand Square
Oh Danny boy, the pipes, the pipes are callin’
From glen to glen and down the mountainside.
Allemande and Weave the ring.
The summer’s gone and all the flowers are dying,
Promenade
‘Tis you, ‘tis you must go and I must bide.

FIGURE



The heads [sides] Square Thru, four hands around to the corner
Both hands, Single circle, make a Wave
Boys Trade, Spin the Top
Slide Thru, Touch a Quarter, Scoot Back
Swing and Promenade ‘em home
Oh Danny boy, oh Danny boy, I love you so.

MIDDLE BREAK



Grand Square
But come ye back when summer’s in the meadow
Or when the valley’s hushed and white with snow
Allemande Left and Weave the ring
‘Cause I’ll be here in sunshine or in shadow
Oh Danny boy, oh Danny boy, I love you so.

CLOSER



Grand Square
And if you come when when all the flowers are dying
And I am dead, as dead I well may be
Allemande and Weave the Ring
You’ll come and find the place where I am lying
And kneel and say an “Ave” for me.

TAG



Oh Danny boy, oh Danny boy, I love you so.
