The Waterson version is very singable but isn't the way it's done in Helston.
Halanto, Jolly rumbello,
For we were up as soon as any day-O,
And for to fetch the summer home,
The summer and the may-O,
For summer is a come-O and winter is a-go.
Or is it winter is a-gone-O? I've got both versions stuck in my head now.
