about

This song was inspired by community dance and it’s increasingly restored
prominence in contemporary Scottish culture. The Cèilidh is derived from
the Old Irish céle (singular) meaning “companion”. The word later became céilidhe
or céilidh and was originally used to describe a social gathering or event.

lyrics

To the dancin’ we will go, To the dancin’ we will go
Go put on your best dress And wear your dancing shoes
I have waited so long For this moment to come true
We will walk the walk together, to the dancing we will go

To the dancin’ we will go To the dancin’ we will go
Go tell all your best friends And let your family know
Standing in a line As the music starts to play
We will walk the walk together, to the dancing we will go

To the dancin’ we will go To the dancin’ we will go
Round and round with your best dress on
Round and round we go
Dancing to a tune Written many years ago
We will walk the walk together, to the dancing we will go

To the dancin’ we will go To the dancin’ we will go
Dizzy on your sweet perfume For anyone to see
when that we must part Many years ahead from now
We will walk the walk together, to the dancing we will go
