TOMORROW SHALL BE MY DANCING DAY
Traditional English Carol, 1833; arr. Howard Helvey (b. 1968)
Tomorrow shall be my dancing day
I would my true love did so chanceTraditional English Carol, 1833; arr. Howard Helvey (b. 1968)
Tomorrow shall be my dancing day
To see the legend of my play,
To call my true love to my dance:
Sing O my love, O my love, my love, my love;
This have I done for my true love.
Thus was I born of a Virgin pure,
Of her I took fleshly substance;
Thus was I knit to man's nature,
To call my true love to my dance:
In a manger laid and wrapped I was,
So very poor, this was my chance,
Betwixt an ox and a silly poor ass,
To call my true love to my dance.
