Years ago I was going through my mothers old tapes of songs and music she had recorded off the radio. I happened across a half recorded folk song. The only bit i can remember to this day was a small section of accapella harmony around the lines:

" Oh where is king George/John? Oh where is he now?
He's off on his Long boat, blah blah blah balh."

I can also remember there being something about a

"Merry morning in May"

It sounded English, and A bit Maddy Prioresque.

As I say would like to know what song it is so i can go and find it.

many many thanks.
