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

Head (side) couples square thru, four hands around you do
Out to the corner girl and then touch 1/4 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

Circle left
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, do a right hand around your own
Allemande the corner by the hall 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

Circle left
I threw my sea bag in the bin and brought these pretty flowers home
Kiss me, Kate, we'll celebrate before the bloom is gone
Allemande the corner gal, turn a right hand around your own and then
Allemande the corner gal and you weave around the ring
Like teardrops off an angel's wings, you know it'll cleanse your soul
Swing and whirl your pretty little girl and you promenade the ring
Ah, Kathryn take my hand, I've got three pounds and change
Sing a song of love and then we'll walk in the Irish rain
