The Dancing - June Tabor/Andy Cutting/Mark Emerson/Tim Harries
Saturday night at the Adam Smith Hall
The couples all move to the dance master's call
Tonight they've no problems no worries at all
The dancing's the dancing tonight
But oh Monday morning it comes round too soon
The sound of the flax mill the beat of the loom
But tonight the band's playing a romantic tune
The dancing's the dancing tonight
The dancing's the dancing tonight
Her partner is perfect he's light on his feet
The footwork is graceful perhaps they might meet
Up by the old kirk or down hunter street
Walking home under the stars
And oh Monday morning she comes round too soon
The sound of the flaxmill the beat of the loom
But tonight the band's playing a romantic tune
Aye the dancing the dancing's tonight
Aye the dancing the dancing's tonight
Walking back late by kirkcaldy's seawall
The sea looks so big the sky is so tall
The fate of two people can't matter at all
Just a waltz in three quarter time
And oh Monday morning she comes round too soon
The sound of the flaxmill the beat of the loom
But tonight the band's playing a romantic tune
Aye the dancing the dancing's tonight
Aye the dancing the dancing's tonight
Saturday night at the adam smith hall
The couples all move to the dance master's call
Tonight they've no problems no worries at all
The dancing the dancing's tonight
And oh Monday morning she comes round too soon
The sound of the flaxmill the beat of the loom
But tonight the band's playing a romantic tune
Aye the dancing the dancing's tonight
Aye the dancing the dancing's tonight
Aye the dancing the dancing's tonight
