Take Me Home, Johnny

Sides Face, Grand Square
She said "Take me home Johnny, sure you’re my kind of man
Take me home Johnny as soon as you can
Let’s walk in the moonlight and stroll hand in hand
Won’t you take me home Johnny, sure you’re my kind of man"
Four Ladies Promenade one time around
Swing with that man and Promenade the town
Let’s walk in the moonlight and stroll hand in hand
Won’t you take me home Johnny, sure you’re my kind of man

Downtown in Dublin was the first time we met
It was raining outside, we were both getting wet
I was going to O’Shea’s, it’s a wee cozy bar
It was then I asked Mary to come for a jar

Then we got married in the month of June
We went over to Ireland on our honeymoon
We traveled down Derry to Donegal
Then back down to Longford was the best part of all

Heads (Sides) Promenade Half way around that ring
Walk in, Square Thru four hands I sing
Go all the way then do your Right and Left Thru
Turn that girl then do an Eight Chain 2
Touch a Quarter there, Scoot Back and go
Swing that Corner and Promenade her home
Let’s walk in the moonlight and stroll hand in hand
Won’t you take me home Johnny, sure you’re my kind of man

Won’t you take me home Johnny, sure you’re my kind of man . . . (slante)
