Standard (EADGBE)

I danced in the morning, when the world was begun

I danced in the moon and the stars and the sun

I came down from heaven and they danced on earth

I badly had my, had my birth.

I danced for the scribe and the far out sea

They wouldn't dance, they wouldn't follow me

So I danced for the fishermen James and John

came with me and the dance went on.

I danced on the sabbath and cure of the lenght

The holy people, they said it was a shame

They whipped and stripped and they hung me high

Left me there on a cross to die.

I danced on the friday, when the sky turned black

It's hard to dance with the devil on your back

They buried my body they thought I got

But I ad the dance still go on.

They got me down, but I leap up high

I am the light, that will ever, never die

And I live in you, if you live in me

I am the lord of the dance, said he.
