The Lord of the Dance
(Sydney Carter [1963], arrang. J. Ferguson, Dec. 2013)
80 bpm
Intro: D G A D [repeat]
V1.
D
I danced in the morning when the world was begun.
A
I danced on the moon, the stars and the sun.
D
I came down from Heaven, and I danced on the Earth;
A G A D
at Bethlehem I had my birth.
Chorus:
Dance, then, wherever you may be,
for I am the Lord of the Dance, said He!
I'll lead you all, wherever you may be,
and I'll lead you all in the Dance, said He!
Interlude: D G A D
V2.
I danced for the scribes and the Pharisees,
but they wouldn’t dance, and they wouldn't follow me.
I danced for fishermen, for James and John;
they came with me, and the Dance went on.
Chorus:
V3.
I danced on the Sabbath, and I cured the lame;
the holy people said it was a shame!
They whipped me and they stripped me and they hung me on high,
and they left me there on a cross to die!
Chorus:
V4.
I danced on a Friday when the sky turned black;
it's hard to dance with the devil on your back.
They buried my body and they thought I'd gone,
but I am the Dance and I still go on!
Chorus:
V5.
They cut me down, but I leapt up high.
I am the Life that'll never, never die!
I'll live in you, if you'll live in Me-
I am the Lord of the Dance, said He!
Chorus: [repeat with gusto]

Can't stop watching love it
Glad you like it ☺️
Best version on the Internet, hands down.
Brilliant!
I wish I could like this again and again here on RUclips, but alas I must love it on my own again and again!! 🤗😄
Who could dislike this?
Jesse you've made that mandolin dance!!!
Your voice melts me
I had the pleasure of being a friend of the Canadian singer who made this song famous - John Allan Cameron and I think that he would appreciate this version. I have heard multiple renditions and yours is in the top two. It needs nothing more then your voice.
I love the transition from the more traditional lord of the dance
Love this version. Thank you 😊
Got my first mandolin. Stumbled upon your videos. Awesome!! I love your voice!! Great mandolin playing too :)
Love this song!!
As usual, you make terrific use of the silence between the notes.
This was the best sounding version of this song i could find. Well done
brother you have a got gifted magical voice
Excellent voice. Nice instrument.
"I am the Life that will never never die."
Great job, Jesse. Sweet arrangement. As always, terrific and effortless singing and playing. And a joyful ending. Thanks again for sharing your gifts.
I checked all the versions of this sweet song, this one is actually the very best, love it thanks so much
Great version Jesse!!!! Love the mando...gives it almost a bluegrass feel.
very BEAUTIFUL :)*)
I've been admiring your voice and music for some time now. I love the swing you gave this tune; it reminds me of what Chris Thile and Nickel Creek did with "The Fox."
Thanks for the tip... another great tune.
I guess Im pretty off topic but does anyone know a good site to watch newly released series online?
