*There's a ceilidh going on tonight, Paddy plays the banjo bright
The crowd all dancing with delight, down at Locklin's bar
Walk all around the corner girl, see saw around your pretty little taw
Allemande left the corner and weave around the ring
It's one step, two step, three step, four, all the girls are on the floor
Swinging up and swinging back, Driving all the old lads mad
It's one step, two step, three step, four,
The crowd were yelling out for more
The place was rocking what a laugh, down at Locklin's bar

Heads square thru you go all the way you count about four
Meet your corner lady, swing thru don't be late
All 8 circulate, boys run to the right
Couples circulate go once, ferris wheel
This time zoom, new centers wheel around
Swing your corner, promenade with the old lads mad
It's one step, two step, three step, four,
the crowd were yelling out for more
The place was rocking what a laugh, down at Locklin's bar

Heads square thru you go all the way you count about four
Meet your corner lady, swing thru don't be late
All 8 circulate, boys run to the right
Half tag and when you done, swing thru, you know
New centers run to the right, half tag, again
Swing your corner, promenade with the old lads mad
It's one step, two step, three step, four,
the crowd were yelling out for more
The place was rocking what a laugh, down at Locklin's bar

*** this figure does not resolve ***
Heads square thru you go all the way you count about four
Meet your corner lady, swing thru don't be late
All 8 circulate, boys run to the right
Couples circulate, one notch, you bend the line
Pass thru, bend the line, slide thru
Swing your corner, promenade with the old lads mad
It's one step, two step, three step, four,
the crowd were yelling out for more
The place was rocking what a laugh, down at Locklin's bar

*** this figure does not resolve ***
Heads square thru you go all the way you count about four
Meet your corner lady, swing thru don't be late
All 8 circulate, boys run to the right
Tag the line, go all the way thru, cloverleaf
Do a double pass thru, girls U-turn back
Swing your corner, promenade with the old lads mad
It's one step, two step, three step, four,
the crowd were yelling out for more
The place was rocking what a laugh, down at Locklin's bar

Sides face, grand square
All the boy's jump in the air, Throwing shapes like Fred Astaire
You never know who might be there, down at Locklin's bar
Well now it's nearly five to four. The Guards are knocking at the door
The bar man shouts, "do you want one more?" down at Locklin's bar
Boys promenade to greet all the girls on the floor
Swinging up and swinging back, promenade with the old lads mad
It's one step, two step, three step, four,
The crowd were yelling out for more
The place was rocking what a laugh, down at Locklin's bar

All jump in the air and never come down!
