[..?..] over, the last day of Spring. CHORUS: For Summer is in, Everyone sing Ah, ah (etc), Let us begin! The other day, it being warm We walked beside the fresh green corn Gathered flowers in a garland to deck the day Friends and neighbours gather near come drink with us a brew of beer? and share in our fortune, that the sun does bring The king and the queen one morning in may played chess in the valley to see who could stay the stream in it's travels laughing away We've sung in the markets, the pubs and the fayre We've made no money, but what do we care we'll sleep in a haystack and be on our way we've gathered our feast along the seashore cockles and mussels, enough for us all. we'll eat in the sand-dunes and then go back for more scattered around us, where we lay are the bones of million years away bleached in the sun [of these few day's??] think of the ages blown in the sand think where an ancient people did stand and think of your fortune to be child of this land. |
