Manfred Mann - Country Dancing lyrics

Down through the ages man has loved
To hear the music play
Minstrels were called to play a
Tune on a wedding day
People would come from miles around
To see the village green
Dancing around the maypole that
Was something to seen

Clap hands sing a song
We'll dance all night long
We're all country dancing

Go down the byways see the
Gypsies gathered round the fire
Listening to tales of long ago
And dressed in strange attire
Out comes the flute and tambourine
To play a sweet refrain
Soon we're all dancing to and fro
The night is young again

And when the music cease to play
We'll make love through till
The break of day
And when the sun comes up we'll
Work till day is done
And then we dance, yes, we dance

La, la, la we're all country dancing
