| Unite and unite, and let us all unite
|
| For summer is a-coming 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-coming today
|
| They might have built a ship and gilded it with gold
|
| In the merry morning of May
|
| The young women of Padstow, they might if they would
|
| For summer is a-coming 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-coming 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 Birdwood, she had an old ewe
|
| And she died in her own park-O
|
| With the merry ring and with the joyful spring
|
| For summer is a-coming 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-coming today
|
| Oh, some they are in England and some they are in France
|
| In the merry morning of May |
