Hills Of Donegal Caller Name
Nelda Eaton
OPENER

Sides face, Grand Square
You may talk about Atlantis, how it’s lost beneath the sea
And the grave of the unknown soldier or the cry of the old banshee
Who was the man in the iron mask, was Jack the Ripper set free
But ask them all “where’s Donegal”

Left Allemande and Weave
And if I could I’d build a wall around old Donegal
The north and south to keep them out, by God I’d build it tall
Casinos, chicken ranches, I’d legalize them all
We’d have our own Las Vegas in the hills of Donegal

BREAK

Four Ladies Chain – go straight across that ring
Rollaway and Circle – to the Left around I sing
4 Ladies Rollaway and you Circle Left and then
Allemande Left with the Corner and you Weave that Ring again
To stand on top of Errigal, it gives me such a thrill
And hear them say in Dublin, “There’s gold in them there hills”
Casinos, chicken ranches, I’d legalize them all
We’d have our own Las Vegas in the hills of Donegal

CLOSER

Four Boys Promenade once around you go
Get back home and Swing – yes, Swing the girl you know
Join your hands and Circle – to the Left go walking 'round
Allemande Left that Corner – then Weave it on down
And if I could I’d build a wall around old Donegal
The north and south to keep them out, by God I’d build it tall
Casinos, chicken ranches, I’d legalize them all
We’d have our own Las Vegas in the hills of Donegal

FIGURE

Heads/Sides Promenade and travel Halfway round and then
Heads/Sides Lead Right – Veer Left my friend
Bend that Line and Touch ¼, All 8 Circulate
Boys Run Right around that girl – Slide Thru don’t be late
Square Thru 3 hands – that Corner lady Swing
Swing that Corner girl and then you Promenade that ring
Casinos, chicken ranches, I’d legalize them all
We’d have our own Las Vegas in the hills of Donegal
