I've been listening to the Coppers since the 1960's, compered all their Coppersong club evenings and have booked them countless times at my club in Lewes - and I've never them sing the words listed above as DRAWING NEAR UNTO THE MERRY MONTH OF MAY so I would say the digital tradition is wrong. The words such as "God bless this house...." etc. suggest that the song derives from a house-visiting ritual and ritual songs are largely absent from the Coppers' repertoire except for Christmas carols (and fox-hunting songs which some people would class as ritual songs.)
