Call Caedmon`s Dance Lyrics

Dance Lyrics

My name is Mary and I'm from Greenville, Mississippi 

But this is where I live here in this old folks' dormitory 

Every Sunday night Sarah comes to see us 

And she plays that old upright 

But Sarah always seems to leave us 



When she plays something comes over me 

Goes from my head all the way to my feet 



And I wanna dance 

I wanna snap my fingers all night long and dance 

I wanna move around the room just like a woman in a trance 

All night, I wanna dance 

I wanna wrap my arms around your neck and dance 

I wanna listen to the music that's been ringing in my ears 

And one day I�m gonna dance my way right outta here 



I had three girls and a boy but now one's gone up to Heaven 

She's with her papa now 'cause he left for lack of penicillin 

The older that I get I figure everyone is dying 

They're all dying for a change 

I know I'm dying for some action 



But days like these Sunday seems so far away 

So until then I'm gonna sit right here and here I�ll stay 



I wanna dance 

I wanna snap my fingers all night long and dance 

I wanna move around the room just like a woman in a trance 

All night, I wanna dance 

I wanna wrap my arms around your neck and dance 

I wanna listen to the music that's been ringing in my ears 

And one day I'm gonna dance my way right outta here 



I'd marry you, if you could dance, that's what I said 

'Cause where I'm going there'll be dancing everyday
