Steeleye Span - Padstow Lyrics
Unite and unite and let us all uniteFor summer is a-comin' todayAnd whither we are going, we all will uniteIn the merry morning of MayThe young men of Padstow, they might if they wouldFor summer is a-comin' todayThey might have built a ship and gilded it with goldIn the merry morning of MayThe young women of Padstow, they might if they wouldFor summer is a-comin' todayThey might have built a garland with the white rose and the redIn the merry morning of MayRise up, Mrs Johnson, all in your gown of greenFor summer is a-comin' todayYou are as fine a lady as waits upon the queenIn the merry morning of MayOh where is King George? Oh where is he-o?He's out in his longboat, all on the salt sea-oUp flies the kite, down falls the lark-oAunt Ursula Birdhood, she has an old eweAnd she died in her own park-oWith the merry ring and with the joyful springFor summer is a-comin' todayHow happy are the little birds and the merrier we shall singIn the merry morning of MayOh where are the young men that now do advanceFor summer is a-comin' todaySome they are in England and some they are in FranceIn the merry morning of May
