Lord of the Dance The Irish Rovers

I danced on the morning when the world began
I danced in the moon and the stars and the Sun
I came out of Heaven and I danced on the Earth
In Bethlehem I had my birth

Dance, dance, wherever you may be
I am the lord of the dance, said he
And I lead you all wherever you may be...
And I lead you all in the dance, said he

I danced for the scribes and the Pharisees
They would not dance and they wouldn't follow me
I danced for the fishermen James and John
They came with me and the dance went on

Dance, dance, wherever you may be
I am the lord of the dance, said he
And I lead you all wherever you may be...
And I lead you all in the dance, said he

I danced on a Sabbath and I cured the lame
The holy people thought it was a shame
They cut me, they stripped me, and they hung me high
And left me there on a cross to die

Dance, dance, wherever you may be
I am the lord of the dance, said he
And I lead you all wherever you may be...
And I lead you all in the dance, said he
