Dorié by The Kingston Trio Lyrics
[Intro]
The home of country and western music in America
Is in Greenwich Village, uh, it's true (Eee-hoo)
And all folk songs as a matter of fact
They sing any folk song that hasn't been recorded
Uh, because if it has been recorded, then it's not you know
As we say, unspoiled, uh
So, this is their latest song then
Since they're such avid collectors
And, uh, it's about 3,000 years old
From the Book of Solomon in the Bible
And, uh, we've done sort of a rough rock 'n' roll translation of it
Since it's not a part of the Bible which is easily translatable at all
Being the song of songs
And it's pretty esoteric, uh, however
Uh, that's for those of you who read, anyway
We've call it "Dorié"
[Chorus]
Dorié, Dorié
Dorié, Dorié
By the firelight come and dance with me
Blazing in the night the fire grows
[Verse 1]
Come and shout and sing
Make the mountains ring
While our hearts beat high
Come and sing and shout
Laugh and turn about
While the flames reach the sky
[Chorus]
Dorié, Dorié
Dorié, Dorié
By the firelight come and dance with me
Blazing in the night the fire grows
[Verse 2]
Burn me with desire
Set my heart a-fire
Throw your cares away
When the dance is through
I'll be holding you
'Til the break of day, hey!
[Chorus]
Dorié, Dorié
Dorié, Dorié
By the firelight come and dance with me
Blazing in the night the fire grows
[Bridge]
Dorié, Dorié, Dorié
Dorié, Dorié, Dorié
Dorié, Dorié, Dorié
Dorié, Dorié, Dorié
[Outro]
By the firelight come and dance with me
Blazing in the night the fire grows
By the firelight find romance with me
You are mine tonight, the fire grows, grows, grows, grows, grows Hey!
Thank you
Thank you very much
