Dubliners Lord Of The Dance Lyrics

Lord Of The Dance Lyrics

I danced in the morning when the world was young



I danced in the moon, and the stars, and the sun



I came down from Heaven and I danced on the Earth



At Bethlahem 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 scirbes and the pharasies



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



I danced for the fisherman James and John



They came with me so 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 the sabath and I cured the lame



The holy people said it was a shame



They ripped they stripped they hung me high



Left me there on the 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







I danced on a friday when the world turned black



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



They buried my body they thought I was gone



But I am the dance, and the dance goes 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
