Hi, There is a dance-able version of this Song. It is on a album called Shepheards Holyday by Wandering Hands
This is an excellent album, you can find it on iTunes.
The song is 2:33
You should check it out. The person is a Dance Laurel her name is - Sara L Bonneville, (known in the SCA as Sara de Bonneville)
I also have the dance booklet that came with the CD
