Thanks, I had forgotten that I asked you to post this.
It is the first time I have been back on Mudcat since the request, so your timing is perfect.

MORRIS MEN
Welsh song

Come and see the Morris men,
Dancing, dancing down the glen,
May be eight or nine or ten;
Oh, hear the fiddler playing;
They're going to the Maying.

Shall we follow everywhere,
Till we reach the village fair,
Let us run, we'll soon be there;
Oh, hear the fiddler playing;
We're going to the Maying.

Then we must before we go,
Take a branch from off the sloe,
Fairest blossom, white as snow;
Oh, hear the fiddler playing,
We're off to join the Maying.

The music also shows an accompaniment for sleigh bells (rhythm only) the rhythm repeats every two bars: |:Crotchet quaver crotchet quaver| Crotchet quaver dotted-crotchet :|
Also included are guitar chords which I'll notate on a bar by bar basis (what do I know of such esoterica?):
| Gm | Gm | Gm | Dm | Eb | Bb | Gm | Dm | Eb F | Gm | Dm | Gm |
