Come and hasten to the dancing,
Merry eyes will soon be glancing,
       Ha! my heart upbounds!
Come and dance a merry measure,
Quaff the bright brown ale my treasure,
       Hark! what joyous sounds!

    Sweet-heart come, on let us haste,
    On, on, no time let us waste
    With my heart I love thee
    Dance, dance, for rest we disdain
    Turn twirl and spin round again,
    With my arm I hold thee!

  Down the path the lights are gleaming,
friendly faces gladly beaming
       Welcome us with song.
Dancing makes the heart grow lighter,
Makes the world and life grow brighter
       As we dance along!
