I found lyrics for "Nuts in May" at https://www.mamalisa.com/?t=es&p=4980. Mudcatter Monique is affiliated with that Website.

NUTS IN MAY

Here we go gathering nuts in May,
Nuts in May, nuts in May,
Here we go gathering nuts in May,
On a cold and frosty morning.

Who will you have for nuts in May,
Nuts in May, nuts in May,
Who will you have for nuts in May,
On a cold and frosty morning.

We'll have [name] for nuts in May,
Nuts in May, nuts in May,
We'll have [name] for nuts in May,
On a cold and frosty morning.

Who will you have to take her away,
Take her away, take her away,
Who will you have to take her away,
On a cold and frosty morning.

We'll have [name] to take her away,
Take her away, take her away,
We'll have [name] to take her away,
On a cold and frosty morning.


This song can be played as a game with the object of pairing a boy and a girl from the group.

It's sung to the tune of "Here We Go 'Round the Mulberry Bush".
