Ireland's Turning Country

Circle Left
Oh Ireland's turning country, that's the word out on the street
And everywhere you go toes are tapping to the beat
Men Star Right, one time around
Left Allemande that corner and Weave around the town
Oh, Ireland's turning country everywhere you go,
From Cork right up to Donegal, from Dublin to Mayo.
Me and the band gonna cross the land we're putting on a show
People say it's here to stay, Ireland's turning country

Sides Face, Grand Square
I met a pretty little jiving queen at the country dance one night
I asked her on the floor, we danced all through the night
Now when the band begins to play, everybody hits the floor,
When the music's over...
Allemande and Weave that ring
[Remainder same as opener]

'...' placed here means 'repeat the corresponding line of the opener section'
Lyrics Go Here

Heads (Sides) Square Thru four hands you go
When you meet the outsides, a Right Hand Star you know
Heads (Sides) Star Left in the middle, one time around
With the same two (both hands) Single Circle, rear back
Star Thru and Roll to face,  that corner Swing
Swing that girl and Promenade the ring
Me and the band gonna cross the land we're putting on a show
People say it's here to stay, Ireland's turning country

People say it's here to stay, Ireland's turning country
