Written by Irish folk singer / songwriter Johnny McEvoy, also recorded by P.J. Murrihy, Farmer Dan, Terrence McKeag and Seamus Shannon. Dancing At The Crossroads Lyrics And Chords , is also popular when it comes to song titles about dancing.

And [G] you never learned to dance
And you never learned to sing
Never word a wedding [D] gown [D7] 
Or a golden wedding [G] ring
And you’ve never been to France 
Or in an Aeroplane
In spite of a all these [D] things
[D7] You were happy just the [G] same
Verse
The first time that I [D] saw you [D7] 
I never will [G] forget
Standing on the city [D] sidewalk [D7] 
In the rain and soaking [G] wet.
In your hand there was a [C] flower
And it smelled like Mountain [G] Thyme
And the Gin that you were [D] drinking [D7] 
Was as sweet as sparkling [G] wine.
Chorus verse
And you know I always [D] wonder [D7] 
When I see you passing [G] by
Just a little old bag [D] lady [D7] 
With a twinkle in your [G] eye
Sometimes you must get [C] lonesome
With no one to call your [G] own
And a run down railway [D] station [D7] 
Was the place you called your [G] home
Chorus verse
Well one day when I was [D] walking [D7]
I saw you weren’t [G] there
The streets they were so [D] lonely [D7]
They seemed so cold and [G] bare
And I wonder where you’d [C] gone to
Did you make yourself a [G] friend
Did you climb the golden [D] stairway [D7] 
Did you reach the rainbows [G] end.
Chorus.
​And you never learned to dance
And you never learned to sing
Never word a wedding gown 
Or a golden wedding ring
And you’ve never been to France 
Or in an Aeroplane
In spite of a all these things
You were happy just the same
Verse
The first time that I saw you 
I never will forget
Standing on the city sidewalk 
In the rain and soaking wet.
In your hand there was a flower
And it smelled like Mountain Thyme
And the Gin that you were drinking 
Was as sweet as sparkling wine.
Chorus verse
And you know I always wonder 
When I see you passing by
Just a little old bag lady 
With a twinkle in your eye
Sometimes you must get lonesome
With no one to call your own
And a run down railway station 
Was the place you called your home
Chorus verse
Well one day when I was walking 
I saw you weren’t there
The streets they were so lonely 
They seemed so cold and bare
And I wonder where you’d gone to
Did you make yourself a friend
Did you climb the golden stairway 
Did you reach the rainbows end.
You never learned to dance song
