CAMBRIDGE MAY GARLAND SONG
Cambridge May Garland Song - Mary Humphreys https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2QbB3XOW9RM
Good morning, lords and ladies,
It is the first of May;
We hope you like our garland,
it is both fine and gay.
Refrain To the greenwoods we will go.
To the greenwood we will go,go, go,
To the greenwood we will go.
I’m very glad the spring has come
The sun is shine so bright
The little birds upon the threes
Are singing with delight
Refrain
The cuckoo sings in April,
The cuckoo sings in May,
The cuckoo sings in June,
In July she flies away.
Refrain
The roads are very dusty
Our shoes are very thin
We have a little money-box
To put our money in
Refrain
