One day walking down the dusty street
Two friends, travelers with weary feet
Brother, let us leave the road a while
Time now, drink and dance away the miles
See what welcome yonder tavern smiles
Come with me, and now let us drink together
Stay with me, I feel like I could dance forever
Brother, do not tarry, come away
This house cursed is for those who stay
Things are not what they appear to be
If now you desire it, look and see
Fortune ruins those who turn the key
Come with me, and let us go on our way together
Stay with me, or go to the devil and dance forever
Ten years now have passed that fateful day
One friend, long since went his weary way
One friend, what task fortune's hand has set
Dry bones, sightless, still he dances yet
Pounding feet from which no blood is let
Come with me, and let us go on our way together
Stay with me, or go to the devil and dance forever
