Additions to above, from the singing of Ray Gurney, at the Folk Centre in Brisbane, mid-60s:
Over the valley Voices are singing, Bells are a-ringing, Dance, everyone, dance! Come to the valley, Run to the valley, Harvest is over, Dance, everyone, dance!
Dance where the corn was high Under a golden sky, Dance where the wine was born, Dance, everyone, dance!
Twirl and twirl about, Lift up your arms and shout ................... Dance, everyone, dance!
Lift your feet, Heart will follow, Lift your voice Fill the hollow Spread your wings Like a swallow. Dance, dance, everybody, dance!
Have to talk to a couple of the old heads around the place who might remember more ...
