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.
Sing O my love, O my love, my love, my love,
This have I done for my true love.

Then 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.
