Tomorrow shall be my dancing day; I would my true love did so chance To see the legend of my play, To call my true love to my dance; [Chorus] Sing, oh! my love, oh! my love, my love, my love, This have I done for my true love1 2. Then was I born of a virgin pure,2 Of her I took fleshly substance Thus was I knit to man's nature To call my true love to my dance. [Chorus] 3. 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. [Chorus] 4. Then afterwards baptized I was; The Holy Ghost on me did glance, My Father's voice heard from above, To call my true love to my dance. [Chorus] 5. Into the desert I was led, Where I fasted without substance; The Devil bade me make stones my bread, To have me break my true love's dance. [Chorus] 6. The Jews on me they made great suit, And with me made great variance, Because they loved darkness rather than light, To call my true love to my dance. [Chorus] 7. For thirty pence Judas me sold,3 His covetousness for to advance: Mark whom I kiss, the same do hold! The same is he shall lead the dance. [Chorus] 8. Before Pilate the Jews me brought, Where Barabbas had deliverance; They scourged me and set me at nought, Judged me to die to lead the dance. [Chorus] 9. Then on the cross4 hanged I was, Where a spear my heart did glance; There issued forth both water and blood, To call my true love to my dance. [Chorus] 10. Then down to hell I took my way For my true love's deliverance, And rose again on the third day, Up to my true love and the dance. [Chorus] 11. Then up to heaven I did ascend, Where now I dwell in sure substance On the right hand of God, that man May come unto the general dance.
