Subject: RE: Any May songs? From: GUEST Date: 05 May 25 - 06:32 PM THE MAID OF BALLYDOO (Trad) (sung by Tommy Makem) 'Twas on a summer's morning all in the month of May Down by yon flowery arbor I carelessly did stray I there espied a charming maid most pleasant to my view And the title that she gave herself was the Maid of Ballydoo I boldly stepped up to her and unto her did say Are you Aurora or Flora Queen of May Or is it the fair Helen that appears all in my view But the title that she gave herself was the Maid of Ballydoo I took her by the lily white hand and by the waist so small I showed her my father's garden down by the river Bann Where the sheep and the lambs do sport and play, the trout and salmon too And says I, Sweet maid, don't be afraid for to leave old Ballydoo Well it was with great persuasion that I got her for to give consent And had in hand together it was Hilltown down we went There we drank liquor of the best and some of the mountain dew And she soon forgot the vows she made when leaving Ballydoo It was a summer's evening all in the month of June As I was sitting silently, condoling at my loom My scissors they cut sweetly and my shuttle nimbly flew When I first composed these verses on the Maid of Ballydoo THE MAID OF BALLYDOO - Tommy Makem https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lrLj-6NW_P4

Subject: RE: Any May songs? From: Felipa Date: 05 May 25 - 06:41 AM Irving Berlin was born 11 May 1888 " Songwriter Irving Berlin (1888-1989) was born (as Israel Isidore Baline) in Tyumen, Russia. At the age of four, Berlin moved with his family to New York City and later began singing in saloons and on street corners to help his family following the death of his father. Although he could not read or write musical notation, he became one of America's greatest songwriters, best known for songs such as God Bless America, White Christmas, There's No Business Like Show Business, Alexander's Ragtime Band, Puttin' On the Ritz, and Oh! How I Hate to Get Up in the Morning." (https://www.historyplace.com/specials/calendar/may.htm) SONGS OF IRVING BERLIN Irving Berlin, article from Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irving_Berlin
