Lord Of The Dance:The Irish Rovers.
#26 in Canada in 1972.
[Verse 1]
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 I danced on Earth..
at Bethlehem I had my birth.
[Chorus]
Dance, dance, wherever you may be..
I am the Lord of the Dance, said He.
And I ll lead you all, wherever you may be..
And I ll lead you all in the Dance, said He!
(lead you all in the Dance, said He!)
[Verse 2]
I danced for the scribes and the phar..isees.
But they would not dance and they wouldn t follow me.
I danced for fishermen, for James and John..
they came with me and the Dance went on.
[Chorus]
Dance, dance, wherever you may be..
I am the Lord of the Dance, said He.
And I ll lead you all, wherever you may be..
And I ll lead you all in the Dance, said He!
(lead you all in the Dance, said He!)
[Verse 3]
I danced on the Sabbath and I cured the lame.
The holy people thought it was a shame.
They cut and they stripped and they hung me high..
and they left me there on a cross to die.
[Chorus]
Dance, dance, wherever you may be..
I am the Lord of the Dance, said He.
And I ll lead you all, wherever you may be..
And I ll lead you all in the Dance, said He!
(lead you all in the Dance, said He!)
[Verse 4]
I danced on a Friday when the sky turned black.
It s hard to dance with the devil on your back.
They buried my body, but I d gone..
but I am the Dance and I still go on.
[Chorus]
Dance, dance, wherever you may be..
I am the Lord of the Dance, said He.
And I ll lead you all, wherever you may be..
And I ll lead you all in the Dance, said He!
(lead you all in the Dance, said He!)
[Verse 5]
They cut me down but I leapt up high.
I am the Light that will never, never die.
I ll live in you if you ll live in Me..
I am the Lord of the Dance, said He.
[Chorus]
Dance, dance, wherever you may be..
I am the Lord of the Dance, said He.
And I ll lead you all, wherever you may be..
And I ll lead you all in the Dance, said He!
(lead you all in the Dance, said He!)
[Outro]
Dance, dance, wherever you may be..
I am the Lord of the Dance, said He.
And I ll lead you all, wherever you may be..
And I ll lead you all in the Dance, said He!
(lead you all in the Dance, said He!)
