I knew I could find somebody!
From Anne Infante's memory:
Down in the valley
Voices are singing
Bells are a-ringing
Dance, everyone, dance!
Come through the valley
Run through 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
Join hands skip along
Dance, everyone, dance!
Turn, turn,
Turn right, hold tight
Lift your feet, the heart will follow
Lift your voice, fill the hollow,
Spread your wings like a swallow
Fly away, greet the day
Dance, dance, everybody, dance!
I have a couple of small disagrements with her, as shown in the fragment above.
