BS: Song for April

Subject: Song for April
From: John J

I'm going to a sing tonight, and as I like to sing seasonal songs I'd like a song for April. There's loads for May (It was in the pleasant month of May... / As I rode out one May morning...., etc). Any ideas please, or come and have a sing at the Jolly Angler in Manchester tonight, 2/4/01, along with Llanfair, Noreen, Catrin, and other brill singers. Thanks, John

John,
'april' is a word that the DT-database doesn't accept for a search for reasons unknown to me. But if you enter '*pril' as a search word, you'll get 50 hits. Many of them them of course to some remark in the notes (as date of printing), but the others are perfect hits to songs in which the word 'april' is mentioned at least once.

The Cuckoo comes in April, she sings her song in May The month of June, she'll change her tune, July she flies away.

Heard it done as the chorus to a song about being loved and lost, but can remember neither verses nor tune.
