11Tomorrow shall be my dancing day, Tomorrow shall be my dancing day,
22I would my true love did so chance I would my true love did so chance
33to see the legend of my play. To see the legend of my plays,
44 To call my true love to the dance.
55<I>Ritornello</I> Sing oh my love, oh my love, my love, my love,
66 To call my true love to my dance, This have I done for my true love.

88<I>Cantus Cancrizans</I> Then was I born of a Virgin pure,
99 Sing, oh, my love, my love, my love, Of her I took fleshly substance:
1010 This have I done for my true love. Then was I knit to man's nature,
1111 Then was I born of a Virgin pure, To call my true love to my dance.
1212 of her I took fleshly substance; Sing oh my love, oh my love, my love, my love,
1313 Thus was I knit to man's nature, This have I done for my true love.
1414
1515<I>Ritornello</I> In a manger laid and wrapp'd I was,
1616 To call my true love to my dance, So very poor this was my chance,
1717 Betwixt an ox and a silly poor ass,
1818<I>Cantus Cancrizans</I> To call my true love to the dance.
1919 Sing, oh, my love, my love, my love, Sing oh my love, oh my love, my love, my love,
2020 This have I done for my true love. This have I done for my true love.
2121
2222<I>Canon</I> Then afterwards baptised I was,
2323 In a manger laid and wrapp'd I was, The Holy Ghost on me did glance,
2424 So very poor, this was my chance, My Father's voice heard from above,
2525 Betwixt an ox and a silly poor ass, To call my true love to my dance.
2626 Sing oh my love, oh my love, my love, my love,
2727<I>Ritornello</I> This have I done for my true love.
2828 To call my true love to my dance.
2929 Into the desert I was led,
3030<I>Canon</I> Where I fasted without substance:
3131 Then afterwards baptiz'd I was, The Devil bade me make stones my bread,
3232 The Holy Ghost on me did glance, To have me break my true love's dance.
3333 My father's voice heard from above, Sing oh my love, oh my love, my love, my love,
3434 This have I done for my true love.
3535<I>Ritornello</I>
3636 To call my true love to my dance. The Jews on me they made great suit,
3737 And with me made great variance,
3838<I>Canon</I> Because they loved darkness better than light,
3939 Into the desert I was led, To call my true love to the dance.
4040 Where I fasted without substance; Sing oh, sing oh my love.
4141 The Devil bade me make stones my bread,
4242 For thirty pence Judas me sold,
4343<I>Ritornello</I> His covetousness for to advance;
4444 To have me break my true love's dance. Mark whom I kiss, the same do hold,
4545 The same is he shall lead the dance.
4646<I>Canon</I> Sing oh my love, my love.
4747 The Jews on me they made great suit,
4848 And with me made great variance; Before Pilate the Jews me brought,
4949 Because they lov'd darkness rather than light, When Barabbas had deliverance;
5050 They scourged me and set me at nought,
5151<I>Ritornello</I> Judged me to die to lead the dance.
5252 To call my true love to my dance. Sing oh my love, my love, my love,
5353 This have I done for my true love.
5454<I>Canon</I>
5555 For thirty pence Judas me sold, When on the cross hanged I was;
5656 His covetousness for to advance; When a spear to my heart did glance,
5757 Mark whom I kiss, the same do hold, There issued forth both water and blood,
5858 To call my true love to the dance.
5959<I>Ritornello</I> Sing oh my love, oh my love, my love, my love,
6060 The same is he shall lead the dance. This have I done for my true love.
6161
6262<I>Canon</I> Then down to Hell I took my way,
6363 Before Pilate the Jews me brought, For my true love's deliverance,
6464 Where Barabbas had deliverance, And rose again on the third day,
6565 They scourg'd me and set me at nought, Up to my true love and the dance,
6666 Sing oh my love, oh my love, my love, my love,
6767<I>Ritornello</I> This have I done for my true love.
6868 Judg'd me to die to lead the dance.
6969 Then up to Heav'n I did ascend,
7070<I>Canon</I> Where now I dwell in sure substance,
7171 Then on the cross hang'd I was, On the right hand of God
7272 Where a spear to my heart did glance, That man may come into the general dance.
7373 There issu'd forth both water and blood, Sing oh my love, oh my love, my love, my love,
7474 This have I done for my true love.
75<I>Ritornello</I>
76 To call my true love to my dance.
77
78<I>Canon</I>
79 Then down to Hell I took my way
80 For my true love's deliverance,
81 And rose again on the third day
82
83<I>Ritornello</I>
84 Up to my true love and the dance.
85
86<I>Canon</I>
87 Then up to Heaven I did ascend,
88 Where now I dwell in sure substance,
89 On the right hand of God,
90 that man
91
92<I>Ritornello</I>
93 May come unto the gen'ral dance.
