My Old Home In Mayo Female version

Krista Baird

Sides Face, Grand Square
It’s many years ago now since I left my Mayo home
Searchin for those green hills somewhere across the fold
I was young and foolish and I longed for city lights
Away from my clear Ireland,
Allemande and Weave tonight
Somewhere along life’s highways that dream began to die
Swing that lady, Promenade
Tonight I'm reminiscing about my old home in Mayo
I see the lights of Westport in the glooming long ago

I’d love to walk once more in a castle by the quay (pronounced key)
Watch the golden sunset upon the western sea
Or stroll along a mountain path beneath the harvest moon
A few miles out from Lewburg
...
Our hearts are full of memories can never be addressed
Swing the lady, Promenade
Late at night when all is still and the moon peeks o’er the hill
I dream about my old home in Mayo

Circle Left
Someday I'll go back again, to my old home in the west
Where Atlantic waters cradle the place that I love best
Left Allemande the Corner, Turn the Partner Right
Allemande Left and Weave the Ring tonight
Our hearts are full of memories can never be addressed
Swing the lady round and Promenade
Late at night when all is still and the moon peeks o’er the hill
I dream about my old home in Mayo

Head/Side two you Square Thru, four hands you go
To the Corner, DoSaDo
Swing Thru, then the Boys Run Right
Wheel and Deal around...Eight Chain Four
Like waves out on the ocean, the years went rolling by
Swing the Corner, Promenade
Late at night when all is still and the moon peeks o’er the hill
I dream about my old home in Mayo

I dream about my old home in Mayo
