DANCING GROUND

DANCING GROUND

Here’s a lute and there’s a pipe
A sackbut on the mound, oh!
Tabors keep the rhythm right
Music singing through the night
And here’s my dancing ground, oh!
Join my dancing ground.

Here’s a lass and there’s a lad
A garland for a gown, oh!
Tread the rhythm, don’t be sad
Dancing airs to make you glad
And none shall wear a frown, oh!
None shall wear a frown.

Here’s a step and there’s a bow
A curtsey to the queen, oh!
Lovers make a heartfelt vow
Take my hand and join me now
Dancing on the green, oh!
Dancing on the green.

Here’s a lamp and there’s a kiss
Roses form a crown, oh!
Every master, choose a miss
Never lose an eve of bliss
On my dancing ground, oh!
Upon my dancing ground.
