Have at long last found a wonderful May Day Song from Exton in Rutland to add to my old counties of England songs. Unfortunately have been unable to find a melody as yet. So any help would be gratefully received.
A garland of roses and sweet blooming posies
I hope you remember it is new May Day

A garland of green, a garland of green
'Tis the very best garland that ever was seen

Yo smile my dear Mother I almost could cry
Tos see those pretty flowers all wither and die

So hot is the sun and so warm is the day
Only look at my sweet garland all fading away
