ARISE, ARISE (Northill May Song)

Kerfuffle - Arise,Arise    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9d5k5PKt9j4

Arise, arise, you pretty fair maid
And bring your May bush in,
For if it is gone by tomorrow, morrow morn,
You’ll say we have brought you none.

We have been wandering all this night
And almost all of the day,
And now we're returning back again,
We've brought you a branch of May.

A branch of May we have brought you,
And at your door it stands,
It's nothing but a sprout but it's well budded out
By the work of Our Lord's hand.
