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
