Unite and unite, and let us all unite |
|
For summer is a-comin today. |
|
And whither we are going we all will unite, |
|
In the merry morning of may. |
|
The young men of padstow, they might if they would, |
|
For summer is a-comin today. |
|
They might have built a ship and guilded it with gold |
|
In the merry morning of may. |
|
The young women of padstow, they might if they would, |
|
For summer is a-comin today. |
|
They might have built a garland with the white rose and the red |
|
In the merry morning of may. |
|
Rise up, mrs johnson, all in your gown of green |
|
For summer is a-comin today. |
|
You are as fine a lady as waits upon the queen |
|
In the merry morning of may. |
|
Oh where is king george? oh where is he-o? |
|
He's out in his longboat, all on the salt sea-o. |
|
Up flies the kite, down falls the lark-o. |
|
Aunt ursula birdhood, she has an old ewe, |
|
And she died in her own park-o. |
|
With the merry ring and with the joyful spring, |
|
For summer is a-comin today. |
|
How happy are the little birds and the merrier we shall sing |
|
In the merry morning of may. |
|
Oh where are the young men that now do advance |
|
For summer is a-comin today. |
|
Some they are in england and some they are in france |
|
In the merry morning of may. |
